My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.

Julie Bowen

Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education.

Joseph Stiglitz

I do regret that when I went to college, I didn't have a liberal arts education. I got a BFA in musical theater, so it was a very directed toward what I was doing. I wish that I had expanded my horizons a little bit.

Heather Dubrow

I went to a liberal arts college, and as part of my background, I was majoring in mathematics and physics.

James Heckman

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

Stephen Cole Kleene

I went to a liberal arts college wherein grading was qualitative and we had to write our own evaluations.

Carrie Brownstein

I'd had the quintessential liberal arts experience, and I came out of college not having a clue of what to do.

John Wesley

We are lucky in the United States to have our liberal arts system. In most countries, if you go to university, you have to decide for all English literature or no literature, all philosophy or no philosophy. But we have a system that is one part general education and one part specialization. If your parents say you've got to major in computer science, you can do that. But you can also take general education courses in the humanities, and usually you have to.

Martha C. Nussbaum

I wasn't using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education.

Charlie Trotter

I wasnt using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education.

Charlie Trotter

I wish I'd gone to a small liberal-arts college where I'd have read the great books instead of a large university where I majored in early-childhood education.

Judy Blume

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

Albert Einstein

I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college.

Danica McKellar

I enjoyed mathematics from a very young age. At the beginning of college, I had this illusion, which was kind of silly in retrospect, that if I just understood math and physics and philosophy, I could figure out everything else from first principles.

Erez Lieberman Aiden

I was fortunate in that I attended university in Canada in the early 1970s when you could take a true liberal arts degree with no programmes, majors or minors.

O. R. Melling

I personally think there's going to be a greater demand in 10 years for liberal arts majors than there were for programming majors and maybe even engineering, because when the data is all being spit out for you, options are being spit out for you, you need a different perspective in order to have a different view of the data.
