There was a time when college was a place where young adults could expand their horizons. But as tuitions increase, student debt mounts and job prospects for recent graduates remain uncertain, today, students and parents say college should prepare students for a good job.
87.9% of freshmen this year say a very important reason for going to college is " to be able to get a better job," according to an annual survey by UCLA’s Cooperative Institutional Research Program. And parents are more likely to strongly agree that vocational school—or no college at all—provides a better pathway to a good job than does a liberal arts education, says a survey by Inside Higher Ed, a trade publication.
The number of schools awarding more than half of their bachelor’s degrees in liberal-arts disciplines, such as history, literature and philosophy, has decreased, from 212 in 1990 to 130 last year, research by Vicki Baker, a professor Albion College in Michigan, shows.
Meanwhile, governors of Texas, Florida, Wisconsin and, most recently, North Carolina, argue that public universities should focus on majors, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math that will meet their state’s workforce needs. Even President Obama has made jobs central to his higher-education agenda.
Supporters of the liberal arts say criticisms are based on outdated stereotypes. Many liberal arts colleges, including Shimer, have increased opportunities for internships(实习). North Carolina’s Davidson College will start a program this summer that will connect graduating seniors with paid fellowships at non-profits. Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N. C. , posts data so students can see where graduates with their majors have landed jobs—including art history majors at Sotheby’s, Deloitte Consulting and Kate Spade.
On the other hand, more than 35 business schools last month met to talk about how to incorporate the liberal arts into their courses. "There’s a sense that business education has become too narrow and isn’t preparing graduates adequately—for career success, certainly—but also more broadly for lives as engaged citizens," says Judith Samuelson of the non-profit Aspen Institute’s Business and Society program which organized the meeting. [br] Why do some business schools want to incorporate the liberal arts into their courses?
选项
A、Their education cannot guarantee a successful career to graduates.
B、Their education cannot prepare graduates adequately for future lives.
C、Their education is too narrow to prepare graduates as engaged citizens.
D、Their education is too broad to provide graduates with career success.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。本题考查某些商学院想要将人文学科教育纳入他们的课程的原因。由定位句可知,现在大家都认为商学院的教育太过狭隘,不能帮助毕业生为成功就业做好充分准备,故答案为A)。B)“他们的课程不能让毕业生为将来的生活做好准备”原文未提及,故排除;C)“他们的教育在将毕业生培养为社会公民方面太狭隘”和D)“他们的教育在帮助毕业生成功就业方面太宽泛”与原文意思相反,原文说的是在准备就业方面太狭隘,在教育学生成为社会公民方面太宽泛,故排除。
