Artes Liberales was medieval and earlier nomenclature for the Trivium and Quadrivium (artes triviales and artes quadriviales), the education and training deemed suitable for free persons (Latin liber: free), as distinct from the artes illiberales for the less (or not) free, now broadly termed Vocational education.

• The Trivium: grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic (language, oratory, logic), the artes sermocinales.
• The Quadrivium: arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music, the artes reales or physicae.
