Issue Essay 7: A true university education encompasses far more than the narrow, specialized study of a single discipline

A true university education encompasses far more than the narrow, specialized study of a single discipline. Only through exploring the board spectrum of liberal arts courses can students become truly learned.
The author points down his views about the university studies, he explains that instead of providing some narrow subjects the university should offer a board spectrum of liberal arts courses which can help students to truly learn things.

Close consideration of the above issue reveals that the statement is a very generalized. First of all the university studies is not all about studying the liberal arts only. Various fields, including business, engineering, medical, social sciences needs to be offered at universities, instead of offering only liberal arts.
Moreover we also have to give a heed to the interest of the students around. Offering only liberal arts does not mean every student will be interested in studying liberal arts. There are many students who are interested to study professional degrees like medical, and engineering.

If all the universities will provide only the liberal arts, they may fail to gain their objectives. Offering liberal arts subjects can only convince few students due to which they will not have enough strength offer subjects.
In addition to that liberal arts would improve skills of the students in only a single direction. If the students will have exposure too many subjects they will surely, they will start out of the box. These way students can better learn in a more comprehensive way. In contrarily, there may be several students who love to study liberal arts only. In that case providing a broad spectrum of liberal arts can help students to become truly learned.

As per my experience, in the recent years I have seen many of the students are more interested in studying information technology subjects as compared to all the others. This is because of the reason that the more the world is getting closer due to the information technology, the more it is becoming sophisticated.

In additional to that, the world is becoming more entrepreneurial based as compared to before. The idea of entrepreneurship is taking over the world in the recent years, in comparison to that the entrepreneurship courses are rarely offered at different universities. It is essential for the universities to take in to consideration current situation of the markets before deciding which subject is to be offered.


Concluding, I disagree with the subject matter of the above issue. Offering broad spectrum of liberal arts does not necessarily help students to truly learn things; universities are therefore required to provide a wide range of subjects so that students can truly learn things.
