<p>I am applying next year and as of now, i dont have any LAC on my college list. I want to major in business but ive heard it is better to do LAC and then MBA. what should i do?</p>
<p>I am not sure I totally understand your question but I will give it a go...</p>
<p>You're a Jr so you can stop worrying and leave your list as is because most people will tell you that attending an LAC or not is a matter of preference and finances. It will not impact your ability to secure an MBA. Alternatively you can explore some LACs and add them to your list for next year's aps. </p>
<p>I think that the thing that LACs may seem to offer that big UNis don't is internship opportunities but that really isn't true. Big unis offer a lot as well you may have to hustle a bit more to find them but they are there. LACs also make it easier to connect with professors but that's really up to the student. A student at a large university who has made themselves stand out positively will get good recs for grad school. </p>
<p>Another thing to consider is that most students change their minds in college about there career choice. You should choose your list based upon what fits you now, not what you think will make a negligible difference in four+ years.</p>
<p>Hope this helped.</p>
<p>LACS:
-smaller
-know your fellow students better
-easier to get more involved
-closer with professors
-normally rural
-may give you something closer to the stereotypical college expierence</p>
<p>Big Universities:
-big
-hard to know everyone
-activities ALWAYS happening
-more majors
-more students to interact with</p>
<p>It's a matter of preference.</p>
<p>but i want to do business. LAC's only offer economics. no marketing, finance, managment, accounting?</p>
<p>Some might. You really have to look into it. Get one of those college books and look through the colleges/universities that have those majors.</p>
<p>There is another thread on this. Do some research. Quite a few LAC's have some business offered. Skidmore certainly does, but there are many others. Bard is offering a business/liberal arts joint program. There's a lot of information out there.</p>
<p>Do you mean most MBA programs prefer a liberal arts education, not business education for undergraduate?</p>
<p>could u tell me some top liberal arts schools which offer business?</p>
<p>Again, do research on this forum. Find suitable search words, and off you go. Honestly, I would supply the list for you, but I don't remember all the schools since this isn't an interest of mine.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee has business.</p>
<p>Also Furman University has business major.</p>
<p>Look at Claremont McKenna, In Claremont, CA.</p>
<p>It is an LAC of about 1200 students, and is very business/political science minded. It is also part of the Claremont Consortium, so you will be part of a 5 College Consortium, all adjacent to each other. It is easy to take classes at the other 4 schools, use their facilities, clubs, etc. You have both a small college atmosphere and a larger school atmosphere.</p>
<p>University of Richmond has a top business school, it is a beautiful campus and great location.</p>
<p>Lehigh definitely has an undergraduate business/economics school. I think there are other pennsylvania LACs that have business too (Lafayette?) If you want a small school for business but not necessarily LAC, you could look at Babson and Bentley too.</p>
