title: The introduction of liberal studies into a Project 2000 nurse education course.
abstract: This paper discusses an attempt to introduce liberal studies into a Project 2000 nurse education course. The paper reviews the origins of liberal studies and other attempts to nurture the 'whole person' in further and higher education, and describes a 'contract learning' approach to liberal studies adopted at one college of nursing. The results of an evaluative questionnaire completed by students about the liberal studies component of the course are outlined, and the implications discussed.
