Online Geometry Courses

As someone who is interested in liberal arts, you may well be more inclined to the arts and social sciences than the science and mathematics side of things. But even if you hate math, you might be surprised by just how interesting some of the ideas in geometry can be to a non-mathematician.  You don’t need a math degree or a science training to be able to enjoy and benefit from some geometry study. And, after all, geometry was one of the original seven liberal arts (along with grammar logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, music, and astronomy).

Studying geometry in a liberal arts degree program

Here are some ideas in geometry which will interest you even if you are approaching liberal arts in a non-mathematical way.

•    The development of ancient civilizations through progress in geometry
•    The use of the Golden Section ratio and Fibonacci numbers in art, architecture and music
•    What does it mean to “prove” a theorem?
•    How were the Egyptian pyramids built?

These are just a few topics than can be fascinating even if you don’t want to delve into the black magic of deep mathematics.

Careers after a liberal arts degree program

Liberal arts graduates work in all kinds of organizations. You might become a journalist, train as a lawyer, or use your geometry training to train as an engineer. Many teachers, top company executives, and writers have liberal arts degrees. Your job outlook and salary will of course vary by your chosen profession. But the broad range of skills your liberal arts degree training endows you with will lay the foundations for a promising and rewarding future.
