I&E in Liberal Arts Education

Entrepreneurship in Liberal Arts Education

Liberal arts education naturally creates great entrepreneurs because it exposes students to broad knowledge of the wider world and empowers them to deal with complexity, diversity, ambiguity and uncertainty.

Liberal arts students are therefore educated to be innovative, communicative, scientific, and compassionate. The entrepreneurial mindset includes all of these traits, but in the context of creating a compelling value proposition, and with an emphasis on taking action.

In fact, entrepreneurship is a practical manifestation of liberal arts, it has economic ramifications that extend the ability of the entrepreneur to engage with social development.
