Hanna Hellquist, State Secretary to Sweden’s Minister for International Development, called her meeting with European Humanities University (EHU) students and alumni "inspiring." Visiting EHU's campus in Vilnius with a delegation of Swedish officials and diplomats, Hellquist said she was fascinated to hear about EHU students' plans to use the opportunities available to them at EHU to connect to the world around them.
A liberal arts education spans the vast expanses of human understanding, covering history, literature, foreign languages, science, mathematics, philosophy, art, and music, to name a few subjects.
Regardless of what a university-bound person plans on doing for an eventual profession-whether it be medical, legal, academic or technical in nature-that person can benefit from a broad liberal arts education.
In order to be a well-educated individual with a well-rounded and efficient intellect, it is important to learn not what to think, but how to think. Puzzling through a challenging piece of philosophy, engaging with a work of literature, analyzing scientific data and formulating hypothesis from that data-all of these are different mental activities, yet they are fundamentally the same, in that they encourage the mind to work its way through problems of understanding, and exercise the muscle of the intellect.
