Because a liberal arts education offers students many ways of looking at the world and helps them shape responses to complex issues and problems, Davidson believes that such an education provides the best preparation for today's fast-paced and ever changing world.

According to Frontis Johnston, former professor of history and dean of the faculty and one-time interim president of Davidson, "A liberal arts education can prepare students not just for something, but for anything."
