Abstract
The university was founded on a tradition of liberal arts education, but in recent years, attention to these fields has diminished. The current study examined the hiring of liberal arts graduates by businesses, in the hopes that orientation professionals can use the findings to help new students overcome fears and misconceptions about the value of a liberal arts degree.
