 Hi I'm a visually challenged student and I am studying in a mainstream high school in India. I would like to pursue my education from United States of America so I would like to know what is liberal arts and how I can get benefit by applying liberal arts colleges. Okay the question was how can you apply to liberal arts colleges in the United States? Yeah liberal arts is a term that's used a lot when describing many colleges and universities in the US including Catholic University and what that means is often you can call it sort of a core curriculum. So all students of all majors are retaking courses in things like philosophy, math, and science, humanities to really provide a well rounded education. I always tell students that when you're graduating from liberal arts school you'll be able to think critically and really write well regardless of your major whether that's physics, musical theater, or history. When you're applying to them it's really the same application process as other universities. A lot of times liberal arts colleges and universities will do more of a holistic approach so they'll look at your test scores and your grades but they'll also look a lot more at what you'll be able to bring to the campus community. So that's things through things like your essay, your letters of recommendation, any actual curriculum activities you're involved with so they're really looking much more at the whole student as opposed to simply academic credentials.
