<p>zonker seems to think k314 was making a ‘respectful’ observation. It really doesn’t matter. USNA was ‘declared’ a liberal arts school by US News and World Report so that it would fit into one of their college ranking categories. Profmom2 has made an excellent post over on the USNA forum explaining this. USNA is not a liberal arts school by any other definition. </p>
<p>My post was simply to correct k314’s misinformation, ‘respectful’ or otherwise. My point was that the 30% or so USNA non-technical majors are still required to take a substantial number of science, math, and engineering courses, many more than the KP non-engineering student. Where zonker, with his ignorant tongue-in-cheek comments and personal attacks, was attempting to go, I have no idea. The Navy sails ships with electronics. That the engineering courses are tailored for this eventuality makes perfect sense to me. But USNA is not a school training it’s students for civilian careers. Maybe that is the difference.</p>
