“Every great art must be supplemented by leisurely discussion, by stargazing, if you will, about the nature of things”. These words of Plato are practiced at School of Liberal Studies at PDEU. We are an unconventional and unusual program and we therefore attract students who are driven to follow their passion and willing to tread upon the ‘road less taken’. Enrolling young scholars from different social and economical backgrounds has enriched the cosmopolitan culture and ambience of the campus. Students, who join SLS, grow to become intellectually curious and not merely bookish individuals. Students at SLS, devote their college years to reading and discussing what Matthew Arnold called “the best that has been thought and said,” and they apply this knowledge during the internships that they undertake and in day to day interactions. The multi - disciplinary approach to knowledge makes our students to be aware, informed and curious citizens.
