In their haste to get practical preparation for a career, students often overlook the liberal arts(文科)college. There are good reasons why they should consider a liberal arts school.

上两句之间不够连贯。仔细分析句意，前后两句有转折之意，如使用yet，整句就会连贯自然。

In their haste to get practical preparation for a career, students often overlook the liberal arts college. Yet there are good reasons why they should consider a liberal arts school.

依第二句，我们判断good reasons是全段的关键词，下文应该是罗列几条理由来论证说明其观点——上文科院校的好处。原文中表述了三个理由：

①Learning is more exciting in a liberal arts college.

②Liberal arts education is the most likely to develop one’s ability to think, speak, read and write.

③Students of liberal arts can get top professions.

为了使各条理由之间连贯，我们可使用first，second，third，来连接上下文；还可使用first of all, next, finally；也可使用furthermore， besides等。总之，递进式的连贯方式很多，也很灵活，请看全文：

In their haste to get practical preparation for a career, students often overlook the liberal arts college. Yet there are good reasons why they should consider a liberal arts school, even if getting a job is their main concern. For one thing, learning itself may be more exciting in a liberal arts college due to a broader and more flexible curriculum than one might find at a technical school. Thus students may do better in their courses and earn higher grades, which will certainly make them more attractive to employers. More important, a liberal arts education is the most likely to develop one’s ability to think, speak, read, and write—all critical skills that business and industry are coming to value more and more. Finally, students should realize that a liberal arts education has always been the preferred path for entry into the top professions: law, medicine, government, and education.
