DESCRIPTION

Many states and schools are adopting the common core standards, with a focus on careers, majors and measured educational outcomes. Will this impact liberal arts education? What value does a liberal arts education provide students preparing for future careers? How do you evaluate what a liberal arts college has to offer in the changing landscape of education? Cyndy McDonald interviewed Maria Furtado, executive director of Colleges That Change Lives, about this controversial topic. See the topics on the slides, and hear the recorded interview.
