Maybe the wording was wrong. It definitely has more liberal arts opportunities for students who would like to pursue other interests as it is a private school and usually such things are promoted.</p>
<p>But would it be wrong to say that it’s more ‘liberal artsy’ than say… GaTech?</p>

<p>I dont know details about gatech. but from its name, is it specifically oriented, biased toward sience and technolgy areas? That is, would someone wanting to major in english go there? is GT a traditional universaity offering something for everyone?</p>
<p>is cmu more ‘liberal artsy’ than uiuc?</p>
<p>uiuc has a LAS college.</p>
<p>CMU has a strong fine arts program (drama, design, and music), but their strengths are really in the technical fields. Even the fine arts and business programs have a strong technical slant to them. It’s really much closer to a school like RPI or one of those than the typical liberal arts college.</p>
<p>CMU just has one of the best drama programs and computer programs. Also a top business school. And a strong humanities school. Everything is kinda tech-themed but the arts aren’t that much. I love the place for it’s drama + robot mix. </p>
<p>Liberal artsy? I wouldn’t describe it like that though. But should you be an engineering major you can certainly do a lot of arts classes on the side and it’s common to see electrical engineers with minors in music which isn’t as common at other places.</p>
<p>Maybe I should’ve clarified; I agree with both of your descriptions on the school. What I meant to say was that it offers a few more things in the liberal arts side of the campus than most technically oriented colleges would.</p>
<p>oh I agree with that ^</p>
<p>Main reason I bothered with CMU over MIT was that I’m a drama and art dork at times and I’d ask about their theater and arts and found they were kinda non-existent. </p>
<p>It’s a good place to find the mix.</p>
