Liberal education
The term liberal education has its origins in the medieval concept of the liberal arts but now is primarily associated with the liberalism of the Age of Enlightenment.
Liberal education is termed "a philosophy of education that empowers individuals with broad knowledge and transferable skills, and a stronger sense of values, ethics, and civic engagement ... characterized by challenging encounters with important issues, and more a way of studying than a specific course or field of study" by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU).
