Are liberal arts students and science students alike in their professional knowledge?

1. In many colleges and universities, science students and arts students with the same major will study in different classes after entering the university, but if the number of students in this major is not satisfied, they will be merged into one class. The course of study depends on the requirements of the department. Some schools directly integrate students into the same class. Even in some colleges and universities, even in the same major (both arts and sciences), arts students and science students will be divided into different departments, of course, the basic courses are still the same. In other words, no matter what form your college takes, there is no difference between the courses of liberal arts students and science students in the same major.

2. The combination of arts and sciences is a measure taken by colleges and universities to dilute the division of arts and sciences in order to expand students and improve the knowledge structure of graduates. Specifically, the majors that originally only recruited liberal arts students were also open to science students, and the majors that originally only recruited science students also recruited liberal arts students. Liberal arts majors are open to both liberal arts students and science students, and the characteristics of "combination of arts and sciences" make them play the role of "middle school". Specifically, liberal arts majors mainly include:

Economics: including finance, public finance, international economy and trade, finance and securities, accounting, economics, etc.

Sports: including sports training, competitive sports, physical fitness and security.

Foreign languages and literature: including English, German, French, Japanese, business English, etc.

3. The concurrent study of arts and sciences is usually located at the cross edge of the arts and sciences attributes of a certain subject. When compiling the enrollment plan, the enrollment number is listed in the catalog of arts and sciences enrollment majors with the same professional name. From the perspective of employment prospects, it seems that the advantages of liberal arts majors are more obvious. For example, many news publishing units are more willing to recruit some graduates with scientific knowledge background. Graduates majoring in English, such as scientific English, medical English and business English, are relatively easy to find jobs. The graduates majoring in law and engineering economic law are very popular ... It can be said that the liberal arts majors in colleges and universities just meet the employers' desire for compound talents. From this point of view, it is a good major to be able to accept both arts and sciences, and the social demand for compound talents has prompted the professional queue of both arts and sciences to expand continuously. Take beijing international studies university as an example, this school is a teaching-oriented university based on foreign languages and featuring tourism, literature, economy, management and law. English, Japanese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Korean, tourism management, marketing, financial management, international economy and trade, finance, Chinese language and literature, journalism, international politics, law and other majors are all liberal arts.
