<p>Rather than asking everyone to do the work for you on a huge laundry list of schools, why don’t you start by checking each school out in one of the on-line or print college guides?</p>

<p>Where are these guides that people never look at which causes them to come to college confidential?</p>

<p>Fiske, Princeton Review, Insiders Guide, College *******, Barrons to name a few. Likely all available at your local library or high school. Also school websites are very helpful often. Many of the schools you listed do not have business majors so you need to decide if that is an important factor to you. I suggest that you visit one or two LACs and universities to see if you prefer one environment over the other. Also you need to consider factors such as finances as well as your chances to get in to these schools, many of which are highly competitive. Good luck.</p>

<p>well I know that most of those schools don’t have business majors. I thought it was implied that the business major was for the national universities. Princeton review didn’t really help.</p>
