*To quote from the Criteria for Eligibility: "Applied and professional work, understood as opposites of liberal work, shall be understood to include all training intended to develop skill or vocational techniques in such fields as business administration, education, engineering, home economics, journalism, library sciences, military and air science, speech, and applied art and music." In addition, certain courses in art, computer science, economics, music, and mass communication are regarded as applied or professional work and thus do not count for Phi Beta Kappa purposes as liberal work.
