Abstract	"What Will They Learn?"™ evaluates every four-year public university with a stated liberal arts mission as well as hundreds of private colleges and universities selected on the basis of size, mission, and regional representation. All schools in the "What Will Will They Learn"™ study are regionally-accredited, nonprofit institutions. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) prepared this report to answer the questions that are on students' and parents' minds. Other ranking systems pit schools against each other in an effort to rank schools from "best" to "worst." Those rankings focus on external inputs, such as alumni giving and admission selectivity, rather than academic substance. In this book, over 1,100 colleges and universities individually receive grades according to whether each school requires the essential areas of a liberal arts core curriculum. This report provides information about general education and much more: tuition and fees, as well as the percentage of students who graduate in four years. [For the 2016 report, see ED581888.] (ERIC).
