This is a list of liberal arts colleges in the United States. Liberal arts colleges in the United States are usually four-year colleges that lead students to a bachelor's degree.
These schools are American institutions of higher education, which have traditionally emphasized interactive instruction (although research is still a component of these institutions). They are known for being residential and for having smaller enrollment, class size, and student-teacher-ratios than universities. These colleges also encourage a high level of teacher-student interaction at the center of which are classes taught by full-time faculty, rather than graduate student teaching assistants who often teach classes at large research-oriented universities. The colleges may be coeducational or single-sex, private or public, and either secular or affiliated with a religious body. Some are historically black colleges. Some offer experimental curricula.
