The old way of thinking about a STEM education versus liberal arts is a false choice, the report notes. In the past — and even today — some people believed that the “hard” skills of science, technology, engineering and math were most critical to careers. Others said that the uniquely human skills learned in the liberal arts were the ones that will endure in the face of automation. In fact, it’s both, and that makes a lot of sense.

In reality, “liberal arts” includes science and math, rather than only humanities and social studies.
