What's the difference between a college with a liberal arts education and a liberal arts college?

<p>

</p>

<p>Most students choose more specialized curriculums in college than in high school. For example, many students take no lab science at all in college (possibly just a non-lab “physics for poets” or “rocks for jocks” type of course to cover a science breadth requirement).</p>

<p>Even when a college has fairly extensive breadth requirements in various liberal arts subjects, the student’s major tends to cause a certain area to be overrepresented in his/her course selection. Few students will graduate with a “balanced” selection of courses across all of the liberal arts areas.</p>

<p>But, once again, math and science are part of the liberal arts.</p>
