Conference Abstract
In order to understand how student experiences, teaching practices, programs, and institutional structures support liberal arts education outcomes, researchers from the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts, the Universities of Iowa and Michigan, and Miami University of Ohio, developed a study of four institutions to investigate critical factors that may lead to the development of liberal arts education outcomes. These outcomes include leadership, moral reasoning and intercultural effectiveness. Using a comprehensive, mixed-method design, this research was designed to help colleges and universities improve student learning, enhance programming, and effectively lead students toward the development of liberal arts education outcomes.
