What are the "Arts & Humanities"?
Liberal Arts is the area of study which is intended to provide general knowledge and intellectual skills (rather than occupational or professional skills).

In the history of education, the seven liberal arts comprise two groups of studies, the trivium and the quadrivium. Grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic (or logic) make up the trivium. The quadrivium consists of the studies of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. These liberal arts made up the core curriculum of the medieval universities. Colloquially, however, the term 'liberal arts' has come to mean studies intended to provide general knowledge and intellectual skills, rather than occupational or professional skills. The scope of the liberal arts has changed with society.

The term liberal in liberal arts originally meant "appropriate for free men," i.e., those citizens of the republics of classical antiquity and a generalized education thought to be most proper for these social and political elites. As such, the course of study in the "liberal arts" was almost entirely devoted to the classics while shunning most training directly applicable for a given trade or pursuit. Later, the "liberal arts" broadened to encompass study in the humanities more generally.

Liberal arts colleges are still typified by their rejection of more direct vocational training, with graduates often leaving to pursue more specialized training at other institutions, such as professional schools (for instance, in business, law, or medicine) or graduate schools.

Today, the liberal arts are sometimes promoted as "liberal" in the later Enlightenment sense, as liberating of the mind, removing prejudices and unjustified assumptions. In spite of the term's original medieval meaning, this is treated by some today as the central meaning of the term.

The Humanities are a group of academic subjects united by a commitment to studying aspects of the human condition and a qualitative approach that generally prevents a single paradigm from coming to define any discipline.

In academia, the humanities are generally considered to be, along with the social sciences and the natural sciences, one of three major components of the liberal arts and sciences.
