AcademicInfluence.com Ranks the Top Liberal Arts Colleges & Universities in the U.S.
Tuesday, February 2, 2021
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses are beginning to acknowledge the truth: "niche" is passé. Companies that once extolled the virtues of the specialist are now consolidating their workforces and asking workers to do everything well. The desirable employee today masters writing, psychology, logic, math, graphic design, economics, computer programming, and more.
In short, the liberal arts education is back in style.
AcademicInfluence.com announces its ranking of the leading American higher education institutions that excel in the liberal arts:
50 Best Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities in the U.S.
Rankings are built using AcademicInfluence.com's innovative, proprietary InfluenceRanking Engine, which scours the web to map the impact of a school's thought leadership. Now, students looking to attend schools that make a genuine difference in the world have a superior resource. See the AcademicInfluence.com About page for further details on the unique capabilities and advantages of this ranking technology.
"Job demands are changing. More is expected of today's college graduates. This makes the liberal arts appealing and practical," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University. "Students who can demonstrate a breadth of skills and the flexibility to take on anything asked of them are finding greater success postgraduation. Today's business leader need not hold a degree in business administration. Increasingly, leaders are found among the philosophy majors with the critical reasoning skills needed to make difficult decisions under pressure, or the psychology majors who understand how both clients and competition think."
