LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES
Liberal arts colleges in the US are a distinct type of post-secondary institution founded on the idea that the liberal arts are the core of a well-rounded education. In the US, the growth of liberal arts education in the 19th century was based on the idea that undergraduate students needed more than just career- or discipline-specific education in order to properly develop their minds and characters. Currently, there are over 200 liberal arts colleges across the United States, and all welcome international applicants.

American liberal arts colleges are typically small 4-year colleges focusing on a combination of humanities, arts, social and natural sciences, in order to provide a "whole person" education (although the specific curriculum varies from college to college). However, liberal arts colleges can be quite deiverse in character: they may be secular or religiously-affiliated, public or private, rural or urban, independent or part of a larger university, gender-specific, residential, small (under 1,000 students) or large (around 10,000 students). Liberal arts colleges generally do not train students for a particular career; rather, the critical, analytical, investigative nature of these programs prepares graduates for a huge variety of potential career paths.

Despite differences between individual institutions, liberal arts colleges aim to provide an intimate student-centered environment designed to cultivate thoughtful, well-rounded citizens of the world. So for a comprehensive education in the US, research the liberal arts colleges available in the state and across the country.
