Abstrakt: A liberal arts education is touted as a tradition that produces graduates who are humane, interdisciplinary, and have the ability to think critically. While many liberal arts colleges offer business in their degree offerings, it can be seen as antagonistic to a liberal arts education. Can the liberal arts and business education find mutuality? This paper argues that the consideration of this issue is timely due to the recent decline of liberal arts education in favor of technical degrees and the recent criticisms of business education as lagging behind other majors in learning outcomes. An integration framework is offered for business education within liberal arts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
