Value of a Liberal Arts Education

According to the Council of Independent Colleges, graduates of independent colleges and universities complete their bachelor’s degrees much sooner than their peers at other types of institutions—almost a year earlier than at public institutions and four years earlier than at for-profit institutions—which means fewer years of paying tuition and a quicker start at earning a salary.
