liberal arts college
Broad curriculum school
A liberal arts college is an undergraduate institution emphasizing broad education across humanities, sciences, and social sciences rather than specialized vocational or professional training.
These colleges are typically small, residential, and focused on teaching rather than research, with low student-to-faculty ratios and discussion-based classes.
She chose a liberal arts college over a large university for the personal attention.
The term distinguishes such schools from research universities, technical institutes, and community colleges.
