This dissertation presents a model of education based on the curriculum outlined by the first-century writer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. His curriculum For the first-century architect included education in the liberal arts as well as an understanding of architectural and engineering design practices and implementations. The ideas gleaned from Vitruvius suggest that design studies should be included and synthesized with the liberal arts as required general education coursework in colleges and that the Vitruvian model may also foster the universal ability that students have, on some level, to design. Addressing these intellectual faculties comprises an attempt to improve the modern liberal arts education by suggesting a kind of holistic education that unites the medieval categories of the Liberal Arts and a new category that represents the mechanical, practical, craft arts called the Physical Arts. A central claim of the dissertation is that the proper implementation of the Vitruvian Model presented---one that incorporates design studies---may improve current liberal arts education.

520 $a This dissertation presents a model of education based on the curriculum outlined by the first-century writer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. His curriculum For the first-century architect included education in the liberal arts as well as an understanding of architectural and engineering design practices and implementations. The ideas gleaned from Vitruvius suggest that design studies should be included and synthesized with the liberal arts as required general education coursework in colleges and that the Vitruvian model may also foster the universal ability that students have, on some level, to design. Addressing these intellectual faculties comprises an attempt to improve the modern liberal arts education by suggesting a kind of holistic education that unites the medieval categories of the Liberal Arts and a new category that represents the mechanical, practical, craft arts called the Physical Arts. A central claim of the dissertation is that the proper implementation of the Vitruvian Model presented---one that incorporates design studies---may improve current liberal arts education.
520 $a Once the principles of the Vitruvian Model are outlined, Thomas Jefferson's work provides an exemplar of the ideals to be achieved through the Vitruvian model of education. The dissertation proceeds to show the tension and synthesis of the liberal and the physical arts through a survey of the historical literature wherein it is found that there have been many different values of how the physical arts are to be counted as knowledge and how the value of that knowledge is to be measured against the ideals of the classical liberal arts education.
520 $a Having presented the evolutionary account of the liberal and physical arts, the dissertation proceeds to categorize and summarize the physical arts. This categorization is to make talking about the physical arts exhaustive in scope (to include all of the physical arts) and manageable in aiding two case studies. Deep Springs College, California, and Pomona College, California, are reviewed using the matrix of the Physical Quadrivium to show that the concept of the Physical Arts already exists in practice, however remotely, on the modern liberal arts campus. The last chapter includes a suggested syllabus for a college course.
