Are the Arts losing to the Sciences?

BrainGain Magazine spoke with Dr. Zafeena Suresh, Education USA Adviser (USIEF), about the anti-Arts bias in the Indian education system. She discussed how the preference for Science is now deeply ingrained in the Indian mindset. And how this translates into the attraction of STEM fields even when students head abroad for further studies. She also shares how there is scope for change, and the attractions of a Liberal Arts degree.

Liberal Arts are for science and business students too

Dr. Andrew Field, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs at Duke Kunshan University, China, says students and parents need to understand why Liberal Arts undergraduate degrees are relevant even in a world of tech careers. He says that studying Liberal Arts is not time away from studying science, engineering, or business – rather, it makes you a better scientist, engineer, business leader. Duke Kunshan University, located in Kunshan city, near Shanghai, offers undergraduate students an education that meets the standards of Duke University in the US, culminating in a Duke University degree. Students have the opportunity to study and live in China and the US, which enriches their international perspective and increases their access to global opportunities.
