Why Liberal Arts?
Most Online Universities offer Bachelor of Science degrees in the various fields. BS degrees emphasize math, technologies and applied sciences as well as the pure sciences. Studies in literature, history, sociology and communication may be reduced in favor of advanced studies in business, technology or other course “directly” connected to the major. Students sometimes think they prefer a route that will involve as little writing, reading, speaking, and research as possible.

St Leo University approaches education from a Liberal Arts perspective, and their reasoning has been historically validated. Liberal Arts–which is a broad education that includes writing, research, reading and analyzing literature, music and art of the past and present, studying the great minds of the past and present, and exploring the way humanity has evolved throughout history–is an approach that teaches you how to question your own assumptions. It teaches you how to communicate with people of all different cultural backgrounds and how to capitalize on the very nature of the human psyche to solve problems.

Studies have shown that students with graduate degrees in any field, who also have a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts are more likely to be promoted and more likely to earn higher paychecks than those whose degrees are solely in their particular career field. St Leo University is one of the few online schools to recognize this important factor. Their choice in conserving the Liberal Arts approach makes them a truly unique educational experience.
