The liberal arts cultivate within students not only wisdom and discernment but also valuable leadership skills.  According to Forbes Magazine, 1/3 of all Fortune 500 CEOs have liberal arts degrees.

Effective leaders need to be able to inspire team members with vision.  They must be persuasive speakers and good decision-makers.  Good leaders also know the right questions to ask when analysing issues or interviewing applicants.  And they can make connections across fields of knowledge, enabling them to see things that others can’t see.

These leadership skills are cultivated in a liberal arts education.
