The common core of education focuses on the four subjects of math, science, English, and history. The subjects are traditionally separated from each other with separate specialized teachers.

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
It is said that the most valuable tool an education at a liberal arts university is how it produces well rounded people with a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.

If this is true, then I propose that the goals of liberal arts university are synonymous with the goals of a comedian.
