Exactly. I'll believe the American Chemical Society and their certified Bachelor of SCIENCE degree program before I'll believe an online poster, any day.

Except that you failed to read the empirical research I provided and your own link doesn't support your statements.

Sure, you have a bachelor of science in chemistry. You have bachelors of science in many liberal arts programs. Chemistry is one of many. You can get a bachelors of science in math and physics as well. That doesn't change the fact that they are all liberal arts. Your mistake (among disagreeing with academia as a whole) is equating BA/BS to something that defines whether a discipline is a liberal art or not.

If you don't want to believe thousands of years of academia and college education, that's up to you. But that doesn't change the facts.

What's interesting is your source disagrees with you. Further demonstrating your lack of proper research. Take a look at their liberal arts at work page.... their first example has a degree in Physics. In fact, a masters of SCIENCE in physics. There you go, you've proven it with your own source. Science is a liberal art.

William & Mary -*Liberal Arts @ Work

Hmmm... The American Chemical Society disregards that supposed "empirical research," as well. I'll take their word over that of posturing pondering pundits.

Alliteration.

Where do they disregard it? Seems like you're making stuff up.

"Coupled with the liberal arts curriculum central to the William and Mary program, the degree supplies you with a good understanding of the many principles and techniques associated with chemistry."

William & Mary -*Majoring in Chemistry

"Coupled with," NOT as a part of the liberal arts curriculum.

You're reading comprehension is failing you. If you actually read your source on the page I provided it says:

"Hear directly from William & Mary alums how their liberal arts education comes to life in their careers."

And it directs you to a person who has a Physics degree.

Actually, that would be you. "Coupled with" is NOT "a part of."

To put it in terms you can understand: Eggs coupled with bacon does NOT mean eggs are bacon.

Fair enough. However, that's not a good analogy since Academia has defined natural sciences as liberal arts for centuries. Academia doesn't change simply because you say so. Your opinions don't change Aristotle's work.

I've posted several links that indicate exactly the opposite.
