'''Liberal arts''' refers to the non-technical disciplines ordinarily taught as part of a baseline [[college]] education at [[America]]n colleges. These include [[philosophy]], [[history]] and [[English]] literature, and sometimes [[Latin]], which lay the foundation for a [[Bachelor of Arts]] (B.A.) degree. As such, many American colleges are referred to as "liberal arts institutions." Technical fields of study are common, but not included under the aegis "liberal arts." In [[Europe]] and [[Canada]] the Liberal arts are generally called the 'Humanities'.
'''Liberal arts''' (in contrast to business & the trades), comprises three main areas: sciences, arts & humanities. Examples include: literature, languages, [[political science]], [[psychology]], [[sociology]], [[anthropology]], [[history]], [[philosophy]], [[linguistics]], [[logic]], [[rhetoric]] etc. In short, they are the pursuits not directly related to the immediate duties of life.
The term bears no connection with the modern political ideology of [[liberal]]ism, save in the classic, historical sense.
