It is sad how a liberal arts education has been devalued. I hate to see a school like Fairfield become more of a professional school. I always viewed graduate school as the place to focus professionally and that Fairfield's focus should be on preparing students to gain admissions and to succeed in the best graduate business, law and medical schools. However, the market is forcing the school's hand. The best example of this is the success of Bentley University. Up until the 1960s, it was an accounting school in the Back Bay of Boston. They did not even have a campus until 1968; did not offer a degree beyond accounting until 1971; and first introduced English, History and Philosophy majors in 1990. It is a tough pill to swallow that Bentley and its narrow business education is now ranked above Fairfield.

The article is a well-written piece by a liberal arts and Jesuit educated Georgetown grad. I hope more people think like he does. (Or, at least, they are taught to think and to love to learn).
