Foundation of liberal arts education at The Citadel

Academic Departments Role Within College

Liberal Arts Education: Its Enduring Importance

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

--Socrates, 420 B.C.

“The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.”-

--Albert Einstein, 1914

“Who will lead America into a bright future? Citizens who are educated in the broadest possible sense, so they can participate in their own governance and engage with the world. An adaptable and creative workforce. Experts in national security, equipped with the cultural understanding, knowledge of social dynamics, and language proficiency to lead our foreign service and military through complex global conflicts. Elected officials and a broader public who exercise civil political discourse, founded on an appreciation of the ways our differences and commonalities have shaped our rich history. We must prepare the next generation to be these future leaders.”

--The Heart of the Matter. A Congressionally commissioned study , 2013.

The SHSS is the foundation of a liberal arts education at The Citadel. It teaches students the fundamental principles of major fields of knowledge. It develops their appreciation of the diversity of the human experience. It cultivates their ability to conduct research, to think critically, to draw logical conclusions, and to express their thoughts effectively. It encourages them to welcome--and to learn from--conversations with people who use the same process to arrive at conclusions different from their own. And it emphasizes the need constantly to expand the boundaries of knowledge by promoting the research and publication of its faculty. Through this process, the SHSS seeks to prepare and motivate students to be informed, principled, and effective leaders in all avenues of life. Among the professions most commonly pursued by SHSS majors are: business, the armed forces, law, education, and public service. Distinguished alumni include Ernest F. Hollings, John C. West, Joseph P. Riley, Jr., and Pat Conroy.

If you were advising your child or a young person you know about the type of collegeeducation they should seek to achieve in order to achieve professional and careersuccess in today's global economy, would you recommend they pursue an educationlike the one described below?

Depends

Three in four would recommend the concept of a liberaleducation to their own child or a young person they know.

“This approach to a college education

provides both broad knowledge in a

variety of areas of study and

knowledge in a specific major or field

of interest. It also helps students

develop a sense of social

responsibility, as well as intellectual

and practical skills that span all areas

of study, such as communication,

analytical, and problem-solving skills,

and a demonstrated ability to apply

knowledge and skills in real-world

settings."
