The term "liberal arts" is defined by the Encyclopædia Britannica Concise as a, "college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum.

In Classical antiquity, the term designated the education proper to a freeman (Latin liber, “free”) as opposed to a slave.

In the medieval Western university, the seven liberal arts were grammar, rhetoric, and logic (the 'trivium', from which we get 'trivia') and geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy (the quadrivium).

In modern colleges and universities, the liberal arts include the study of theology, literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, and science.
