Abstract
This paper researches how liberal arts and finance can be blended together with high impact experiential learning components to enhance business education. Many colleges and universities have created a bridging approach to business and the liberal arts. In these institutions, students take two years of liberal art course work before beginning their studies in business. This curricular structure that separate liberal arts from finance education with disconnected and independent courses throughout the general education and business curricula reinforces the business student’s perception that the course work in liberal arts lacks relevance to the finance major.
