Abstract
Recent data indicates an overall decline in American college enrollment. Specifically, there has been a tremendous reduction in students enrolled in liberal arts and humanities programs. Some attribute the slump to recent shifts in the economy. Others blame an increasing lack of regard for the usefulness of these degrees. In the meantime, administrators at colleges and universities throughout the United States struggle to find solutions. In this publication, the authors attempt to analyze the underlying issues related to the decline in enrollment in liberal arts and humanities programs and to propose potential answers for those concerned.
