<p>Is anyone pursing a degree in Liberal Arts? I like everything and thought this would be good so i can take classes in a variety of disciplines. Also, is this good if i decide to apply to grad/law/med school? Will employeers hire me with this degree? Thanks I'll be a college soph next year and havent declared a major yet.</p>
<p>to say you want to major in 'liberal arts' is like you saying you want to major in 'science-' you gotta be a little more specific!</p>
<p>You're most certainly right, huskem55, or the op should specify one of those degrees in "Liberal Arts" that really is majoring in the liberal arts.</p>
<p>hey sorry bout that actually at my school you can major in "Liberal Arts" its like taking courses in 6/7 disciplines and taking a certain number of upper level courses in each. these include bio, chem, history, poli sci, english, languages, etc. thanks!</p>
<p>Honestly, I could employers less happy in general with this than with a history or English degree. Now, I don't think the difference would be very big, and I don't think it will matter that much, but that's just what I think; I might be wrong. Law/med/grad, I would think, woudl feel differently than one another. Law schools would probably not care too much, but again would have a slight preference towards a standard discipline. If you got very good grades and a strong LSAT score, along with strong letters of rec and a good statement of purpose, you would be fine, though, just as almost any major would be. I know less about med schools, but would guess they would care even less. GPA (especially in the sciences/math), MCAT, and to some extent letters of rec/statement of purpose make up the bulk of your application, so your major can be overshadowed. You would of course have to fit in whatever med courses your program doesn't cover, which would probably be fairly easy. Graduate schools would probalby prefer you have a bit more advanced knowledge in a particular field (whichever one you wish to study in grad school). But again, many programs would probably take you as long as they think you're able, you have strong letters of rec, a good GPA in general, especially in the general field (science, humanities, social sciences) that you plan to study.</p>
