Many of these op-eds blame the utilitarian popularity of the STEM disciplines for declining enrollments and diminishing support for the traditional liberalarts. I know I can find support for the value of the liberalarts among the leaders of the very STEM disciplines whose popularity my colleagues decry.
A tripartite curriculum -- consisting of general education requirements to guarantee intellectual breadth and ensure that graduates acquire a foundation in the liberalarts, a major to offer depth, and electives to maximize individual choice – is supposed to produce well-rounded graduates.
We have launched new academic programs that are focused on regional needs and successfully achieved professional accreditations of nearly every program at the university (all those that have that option), to ensure the quality of the academic experience we offer.
