                That's nothing, just take a look at THIS:
                Not sure how the chart is misleading, seeing as it's clearly labeled and a very simple chart. Maybe it's confusing for the Liberal Art readers?

                  So are Psychology (well, it's kinda quasi) and International Studies science and not arts? They have a lot of math too.
                  Psychology and International Studies don't nearly have the same math as Economics does...

                    " Significant background in mathematics" is relative. It's probably very tough to find anyone in sociology who knows the basics of real mathematics, rather than arithmetic.

                    • Having read the definitions of 'liberal arts', it just looks like a rightwing macguffin. The wikipedia article gives a different interpretation, saying that historically they incorporated astronomy and pure mathematics. It doesn't mention the 'non-science' interpretation.

                        • Given that 'liberal' is practically a swear word for some Americans, do you think it's a useful way to describe arts and social sciences?

                              What about social sciences then? That's almost like socialist sciences...
