At LaGuardia, philosophy is king and challenging the stereotype that four-year colleges are for intellectuals and community colleges are for career training” (via Dianne Bazell). Â Humanities offer students training in how to analyze, to think, to synthesize, and to transform themselves in a fast-past, changing, world. Â Humanities also give students a chance to think about what matters, which is is a crucial skill for employees, organizations. and enterprises that must reinvent themselves. Â (Via Dianne Bazell)
