How much can walking really teach you? Can you learn enough from walking to make an entire college class about it? Kenneth Keffer thinks you can, and he should know. Keffer has been teaching a class called the ‘Art of Walking’ at Centre College since 2002. Centre College is a private liberal arts college in Danville, Kentucky. In 2018, the school will offer the class for credit for about the thirteenth time. Liberal arts education has been an important tradition in American higher education for hundreds of years. It aims to provide students with a wider understanding of the world and help them understand how different fields are connected. In addition to a main subject of study, liberal arts programs require students to take other classes in related and, sometime unrelated, subjects.
