... Yes. You will succeed.

Liberal arts, as mentioned by buzzkillington, is by no means having anything to do with liberality in the sense of political or social constructs. It goes back to the root of the phrase meaning freedom. It is a course of studies to help widen the perspective of the student to help persue 'the...

Well, while I think a liberal arts degree may help them significantly, I'd say keep doing their course of studies; major in liberal arts and complete all the requirements, but at least double major; getting into a post-graduate physics program would be a hell of a lot easier if you can both talk...
