What is a Liberal Education?

In 1843, the founders of Bishop’s University declared their goal: “to offer the country a sound and liberal education.” To this day, we remain focused on this mission, delivering a broad education in an intimate learning environment that encourages exploration and discovery. If you choose Bishop’s, you will see the benefits of an outstanding education coupled with a holistic university experience. Liberal education is an educational philosophy that exposes students to a wide variety of disciplines and learning strategies. It includes in-depth studies in at least one specific academic area, with the ability to integrate other diverse areas. Here you can combine various disciplines such as biology with fine arts, or economics with religion, or business with

psychology, or whatever your interests may be. This style of education encourages you to ask questions, consider all angles, pursue knowledge, and gain confidence. You will graduate as a thoughtful, capable, inspired, and self-aware individual. In short, it’s nowonderwhy Bishop’s students have consistently rated their experiences as amongst themost satisfying and engaging in all of Canada. WE create an academic environment where you can grow and change. But a lot of what happens here also depends on YOU. Together, we’ll craft an educational experience that will make you look back nostalgically and re mark, “Choosing Bishop’s was the BEST decision of my life!” For more information on the Bishop’s liberal educationmodel, please visit: ubishops.ca/liberal-education
