December Graduates & A Change to Graduation

[KSoul]

Those who earned a Liberal Arts degree tend to desire more on the diploma, more because, at least in the business environment, the perception is a less rigorous degree due to the high elective count and lack of requirements in UL courses compared to a business degree. One could surmise that the minors listed for the degree earner beef up optics when interviewing outside of teaching opportunities. Employers tend not to put much weight into minors, so it feels more for vanity than intrinsic value. However, if you have two-three minors, I am sure it feels nice to have them listed if hanging on your wall.

This post is not to personally breathe energy into the value of the Liberal Arts degree. Overall, earning a degree isn't easy, and by the global numbers, any degree should be celebrated and carry great pride in the accomplishment.
