Abstract	The third in a series of reports on AAC-sponsored dialogues on liberal learning is presented. This dialogue, focusing on the role of liberal learning in professional education, was designed for both teachers and administrators representing a variety of colleges of business, engineering, fine arts, and the health sciences. In the first case study, the Worcester Polytechnic Institute's revised engineering and science curriculum, called the WPI PLAN, is described. It attempts to prepare students for real-world problems and stresses the integration of the humanities and social sciences into the engineering curriculum. A second case study describes the involvement of Tufts University and the health services professions. Tufts encourages the maximum cross-registration of students in its various colleges and programs by making crossovers between professional- and liberal-oriented courses as easy as possible. New programs like the Community Health Project mix traditional academic courses with off-campus courses and projects that expose liberal arts majors to professional work. In a third case study, Babson College focuses on increased integration of liberal arts and management studies. Three liberal arts-related majors have been introduced (society and technology, communications, and American studies) that integrate the humanities to real-world problems. (LBH)
