When it comes to colleges, big state schools get attention for their sports teams. Technology schools get credit for scientific breakthroughs. But America is dotted with top-notch liberal arts colleges that have plenty to offer.
Many feature core curriculums that require students to sample the arts, humanities, sciences, and languages. Others have open curriculums, challenging students to choose their own paths. Some encourage experiential learning like studies abroad, internships, research, and community service programs that teach students off-campus independence and on-the-job skills. They may promote community involvement, designing ways for students to contribute in communities or learn cultural diversity and understanding. Some keep religion close at hand, requiring students to attend services or study the Bible.
