Challenges for Liberal Studies Graduates.

"What, precisely, would a liberal studies degree, especially one from a School of Continuing Education, mean?  My experience suggests that degree completers are especially like to want something different: A career-aligned degree with well-defined return on investment.  I simply don’t know what employers make of such a degree from such a unit., the biggest question is whether highly selective private institutions, no matter how richly resourced, actually know how to work with students who aren’t extremely smart and self-motivated., That’s a mission that community colleges and broad access public universities specialize in.  Isn’t there something presumptuous for an R1 can step in and do a better job than those other institutions – especially when they won’t be able to offer wrap-around student supports or extensive interaction with faculty and classmates?"—How Might Elite Institutions Better Meet the Needs of Underserved Student Populations?
