Key Summary
General Arts equips students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they explore a variety of academic subjects.
The three-year General Arts program offers students the opportunity to engage critically with the multifaceted nature of the human experience over the centuries and in the modern world, thus updating the ancient idea of liberal arts, which included seven subjects considered essential for involvement in civil life: grammar, logic, and rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music theory, and astronomy. This program constitutes a stepping stone to employment in areas where responsibility, solid judgment, communication, and technical skills are required.
The program allows independent selection of courses based on the student’s interest and has the potential for broad interdisciplinary study, with a specialization in two to three areas.
