If you were advising your child or a young person you know about the type of college education they should seek to achieve in order to achieve professional and career success in today's global economy, would you recommend they pursue an education like the one described below?
I would advise a
young person to pursue [a liberal
education]
Would not
Depends
Three in four employers would recommend the concept of a liberal education 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."

New Ecology of Learning…As Higher Ed Rises to the Challenge
Does Not Mean…
– Focusing Higher Education on Career and Technical Education
– Preparing Students for Only ‘Employers’
– Ceding Education to Business
– Abandoning Tradition of ‘Liberal Education’
![Page 38: Population Developing Nations 9 Times Developed World by 2025 Younger Increased Literacy](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815841550346895dc599f4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
As Higher Ed Rises to the Challenge…
Does Mean…
– Higher Education Establishing Single ‘Track’ System with Multiple Learning Options
– Enriching Curriculum to Reflect Broader, Technical, Economic, Scientific, Ethical, and Global Applications
– Preparing Students With ‘Adaptive Skills’ to Succeed in a Constantly Changing Environment
– Integrating Applied Learning in Every Degree

“T” Shaped Professionals
Refers to an individual with a deep knowledge of his/her discipline…
…but also the breadth of skills and knowledge that allow the individual to understand how one discipline interacts with others and contributes to multiple dimensions and institutional operations.
In contrast to the “I”-shaped professional who specializes in one field and whose skills may come to be devalued following changes in technology, application, or market conditions.
