Why Choose Liberal Arts?

Learning how to learn and acquiring the skills to become a lifelong learner are at the center of a liberal arts education. Such habits of mind often translate into a whole variety of rewarding careers and can lead to a balanced, engaged, and fulfilling lifestyle. The liberal arts are well suited for students who enjoy learning for learning’s sake and may be less attractive to those who prefer a more technical or vocational approach to their education. As a result of USD's commitment to the liberal arts, many of our graduates have advanced to distinguished careers in teaching, research, medicine, law, journalism, politics, the arts, philanthropy, and international business.
