[Dr. Paul Grant] Actually our students are getting what I would really consider to be
a private Liberal Arts college education really on the cheap.
You know, if you look at our faculty, you know, they're from
the great universities throughout the United States, the Ivy League, the Big 10.
So it's basically the same work and our expectations are
the same. [Dr. Susan Bussey] It's not good enough to read a book and write about what the book says.
I want you to think harder than anyone's ever asked you to think.
I want you to do a sort of mental gymnastics
until you've thought the big thoughts. [Dr. Margaret Keiley-Listermann] I don't consider it my job to tell them
how to think. In the world that we live in today it's more effective
that a student can engage in articulate
intelligent discussions without it being solely one-sided.
[Dr. Ronald Hunter] Our students are on a par with any other program
and in some ways much better prepared, I think, than any other program Georgia.
[Dr. Rebecca Flynn] I, at the undergraduate level, had never participated in a conference
yet I'm expecting a good percentage of my students who are English majors
to present at conferences and that's an experience that I think is unusual and
unprecedented at undergraduate institutions.
[Monse Barrantes] Personally, I love the Liberal Arts Department. I love
the French classes, the Psychology classes,
the English classes. It just, it comes more natural to me
and the teachers are awesome. [Chelsea Butler] The teachers a really wonderful. They're
really energetic. They really try and help you as much as you can. I mean, you really
get a personal experience.
[Tyler Lee] I actually feel that all my professors know me. They know who I am,
especially in English, my teachers actually know my style of writing versus
just
accepting a paper and giving a grade back. [Ashley Rivera] These professors are coming in here
from these prestigious schools and they're pushing you like you're a
university student
and I don't, I don't feel like that's a bad thing. I feel like we need that.
[Dr. Grant] One of the things we hope to do with this, the smaller class sizes,
is not just teach them the material in the con-
the content. Our hope really is that these students will go on to become
leaders.
I'm sure I'll be reading about my students in the AJC.
That's what we're trying to do.
