The article deals with the features of the implementation of the liberal arts education of undergraduate students at higher school in the USA. We consider the liberal arts education to be a holistic process of personal development of students and as a basis for their professional development. Core objectives of liberal arts undergraduate education are identified. The three models of implementation of the liberal arts program in the undergraduate study in the USA are highlighted: the great books model, the scholarly discipline model, and the effective citizen model.
