<p>What does a "liberal arts" college referring to as opposed to what? Is Wellsley a liberal arts school?</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia:</p>
<p>"The term liberal arts has come to mean studies that are intended to provide general knowledge and general intellectual skills rather than more specialized occupational, scientific, or artistic skills."</p>
<p>So not art school, business school, or tech school.</p>
<p>And yes, Wellesley would definitely be a liberal arts school.</p>
