Myths and Misconceptions

But how is his liberal arts degree

helping him in today’s world?

Very impressive, Newcombe.

Over at Liberal Arts we still

have trouble with the

multiplication table.With your liberal arts

background, you should be able

to walk into any employer's

office and say with the utmost

confidence, Wherefore art thou,

Romeo?
