'''Liberal arts''' are the non-technical disciplines ordinarily taught as part of a baseline [[college]] education at American 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'.
