List of liberal arts colleges in the United Statesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

They are known for being residential and for having smaller enrollment, class size, and teacher-student ratios than universities. These colleges also encourage a high level of teacher-student interaction at the center of which are classes taught by full-time faculty, rather than graduate student teaching assistants who often teach classes at large research-oriented universities. The colleges may be coeducational or single-sex; private or public; and either secular or affiliated with a religious body. Some are historically black colleges. Some colleges – such as Hampshire College, Beloit College, Bard College at Simon's Rock, Pitzer College, Sarah Lawrence College, Bennington College, Shimer College and New College of Florida – offer experimental curricula.
