[edit] Merge lists

I placed a merge tag with the list of colleges by country. It might be a good idea to merge this list as is to the longer list of colleges - and re-organize that list by country. Or, have two parts to it, one which is alphabetical, and one which is by country. There is already a subarticle called List of liberal arts colleges in the United States. -Classicfilms 20:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I merged the list from the liberal arts college page and reorganized this list by country. This follows a similar list,List of current and historical women's universities and colleges. Also the list of schools in the U.S. is organized by state in a similar fashion - List of American institutions of higher education. -Classicfilms 16:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is there really exact requirments to be considered a liberal arts school

I always thought it was a relatively silly label, simply because almost every university or college has a possibility for a degree in humanities. Like in Music, arts, History, literature, Mathematics (I think every university has math majors) and Science (come on is there any university without a biology degree). Even the so called Liberal Arts University I attend has a business department with accounting, marketing, finance, and others. So exactly what is the so called liberal arts label suppose to say??? Is it suppose to be a good or bad label when applying for a job? How about if applying for graduate school? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.249.55 (talk) 22:04, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The "liberal arts" label is imprecise, but it can be correlated with categories from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, notably the "Arts & Sciences Focus." --Orlady (talk) 22:24, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

But is that suppose to mean that its a less advanced school? If someone mentions they went to a liberal arts school when say applying for Harvard Law is that looked down upon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.249.55 (talk) 22:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
