2021-08-31 07:30:07 Liberal arts colleges typically have undergraduate programs that focus on overall intellectual enrichment and offer a curriculum centered on the humanities, arts, literature, writing, philosophy, sociology, creative arts, and natural and social sciences.

Over the years, the liberal arts system of education has been prized for producing creative, critical-thinking students with the ability to approach problems from multidisciplinary perspectives. It's no surprise that liberal arts colleges in the US are also now becoming increasingly popular among international students.

2021-08-28 07:30:05 Front page admissions news!

Yesterday it was announced that two programmes at the National University of Singapore (NUS) – Yale-NUS College and the University Scholars Programme (USP) – will be combined into a single new college from 2022. 

NUS said that in merging the two schools, it aims to bring together the best features and extensive experiences of USP and Yale-NUS. The New College, the placeholder name for now, will seek to continue their legacy of world-class interdisciplinary liberal arts education. Students of the new college will read a new common curriculum adapted from “the best of both the USP and Yale-NUS foundations”, enhanced with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) elements.
