很多人问,文理学院到底是什么!其实这个要从美国早期教育模式说起。美国建国前,当时只有9所高等院校,分别是哈弗学院,耶鲁学院,新泽西学院,国王学院,费城学院,皇后学院,威廉玛丽学院,罗德岛学院和达特茅斯学院。这九所大学全都是基督教各教派创立,其设校目的在于培养牧师和律师为主,学生人数很少,因而其课程大都承袭欧洲大学的传统,特别是英国牛津和剑桥大学的作风,即以修习七艺(文法、逻辑、修辞的三艺,以及几何、天文、算术、音乐的四艺)和文雅学科(Liberal Arts)等为主要学科,称之为博雅教育(Liberal Arts)。这九所学院就是美国 早的文理学院,而有趣的是这九所 后都变成了综合性大学。也就是现在的哈佛大学,耶鲁大学,普林斯顿大学,哥伦比亚大学,宾夕法尼亚大学,罗格斯大学,威廉玛丽学院,布朗大学和达特茅斯学院(威廉玛丽学院和达特茅斯学院虽然名称没有改变,但是由于引进了很多应用科学,开设了很多院系,性质也是综合性大学)。就在这九所成为综合性大学之前,随后出现了很多像这九所一样教学模式的文理学院,而至今依旧持原来的教育风格!所以,如果想学美国教学的精髓,或者想要接触美国上层社会,去文理学院学习是 好的选择。下面是美国文理学院的排名。
