At the beginning of writing this blog, it was difficult to find stories that wasn’t for liberal arts. I was also already biased being a Psychology major which is a major housed in the liberal arts college here at Penn State. Therefore, I definitely was not against liberal arts education from that beginning.
As I searched for adversary sources, I found that one thing always seemed to be stressed above all else and that was finding a job after graduation. Being a liberal arts major I couldn’t help but examine my own major which in reality does not give me a job after my bachelor’s degree is completed and requires at least some graduate school. This seems to be the case for most liberal arts majors, as I discovered through the course of this blog.
In the end, through the research of this blog, I only found myself coming closer to common ground and neutral between which should be stressed in universities. I see the importance of both and based on the evidence that I found throughout the semester neither outweighs the other. However, this controversy is not a battle between liberal arts and the sciences, it is very much a defending of liberal arts. If I had to “take a side” that would be to fight for an equal value between both. In today’s job-driven world this side would be advocating for liberal arts to remain of importance.
