  3. “The Liberal Arts,” According to Purdue WELCOME TO LIBERAL ARTS. The central mission of the College of Liberal Arts is to educate every individual to live more knowledgeably, responsibly, and humanely. In all disciplines, we apply the lessons of the past to the present, and often those of one culture to another.
