A degree in a non-technical or non-pre-career field, chosen and designed primarily for the value and pleasure of learning for its own sake, and not just as a means to a job - e.g., English, philosophy, history, etc.

Many universities and small colleges promote this approach, buy offering or requiring a wide variety of courses in various fields - i.e., everyone has to take at least one science, one arts or literature, one something else, etc. - or by having a core curriculum - i.e. great books, history of philosophy, etc - that everyone has to take along with a major.

Those who think of university solely as a road to a job sneer at this approach, since it seems "useless" to them - though, in fact, employment possibilities for liberal arts grads are not significantly lower than for STEM or business majors.

Those who suspect that it might actually be a nice thing to leave college with some education beyond career training are attracted to the approach.
