Overview
A liberal arts education is the best way that students can learn to be independent thinkers. By traveling across disciplines, between the sciences and the arts, students can be liberated from traditional boundaries and reach their full intellectual and professional potentials.
Liberal arts education at Alliance is about the process as much as the result: it is not about what you study but how you think. This philosophy of education prepares students for leadership in any and every field by giving them the ability to think critically, write persuasively, and intervene decisively. Political science and sociology will be taught to understand the civic system and political behavior; history and the visual arts will broaden cultural perspectives, and psychology and geography will help paint the lay of the mental and physical landscapes in which students will make their lives and careers.
Uniquely at Alliance, students in the liberal arts are not funneled into specific streams and classes but given the freedom to explore a vast variety of subjects while plotting their own course to their majors. Students are encouraged to be sure about their passions and goals before settling on a path. During the process, they will be encouraged to master skills in languages, statistics, computing, and even extra-curricular pursuits in sports, drama, debate, and more to give them an edge in the competitive world awaiting them.
With excellence in teaching, research, and pedagogy, Alliance introduces the School of Liberal Arts to further its aim of providing a holistic education—to instill values, skills, and knowledge—to all its budding thinkers, scholars, problem-solvers, and leaders, allowing them to inspire in every walk of life and lead successful and meaningful lives.
