<p>Are there any liberal arts college that offer a business major?</p>
<p>yes. i just don't know which ones. puget sound, among others</p>
<p>You might want to check out Claremont McKenna, which seems to be into "leadership", perhaps to a fault.</p>
<p>You know most people who go into business don't major in it, right? I have tons of friends who went to LACs who work in business. Williams is one of the best feeders into banks and consulting firms out there.</p>
<p>Washington & Lee in VA is the only liberal arts college among the top 20 with a nationally accredited business school </p>
<p>There may be others that are ranked lower.</p>
<p>Babson.. maybe?</p>
<p>Babson is not a liberal arts school. In fact it is only a business school meaning they only offer business majors.</p>
<p>most LACs have a business management major but obviously not a business school (considering there is usually just the school of liberal arts). look at schools like Colgate, Villanova, Lake Forest?...</p>
<p>Bucknell has business programs</p>
<p>Many LACs have business degrees and some have a school of business as well. What else do you want out of the school? Size? Religious? Tuition range? Other programs?</p>
<p>The idea of an LAC with a business major is ridiculous if you ask me. But as others have pointed out, they do exist.</p>
<p>Holy Cross has a very good accounting major in addition to economics. Villanova and Babson are not LAC'S.</p>
<p>Colgate does not have a business management major or anything similar.</p>
<p>Skidmore does. And most have economics majors.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tips. Colgate doesn't, Bucknell does. Just wanted some other leads for daughter beyond the well-known business programs like NYU and Carnegie-Mellon which she may not get into.</p>
<p>Why business though? Econ does just as well in terms of getting people jobs. I was an anthro major and worked at a top 5 consulting firm!</p>
<p>Everyone says that but were you at a top school? Maybe if you're at a lesser school it's a different story. Also, I think if you want to go into marketing or human resources economics isn't as good. And unless you have a passion for anthropology or something similar why take so many classes in something which you won't ever use? You can still take a lot of interesting classes outside a business major.</p>
<p>Yea. I can tell you a business major at NYU Stern has SO much more connections and opportunities than NYU - CAS students.</p>
<p>You might want to consider that a great many businesses today do not want business majors - they want to teach business their way. Rather, they would prefer people with excellent people skills, who can speak on a wide variety of topics and deal with many different people. Those skills can be found most frequently outside a "business" major. You have plenty of time to learn how to read a budget.</p>
<p>but what's the recruiting difference like when comparing a top 50 national university to a top 25 LAC. I am interested in schools like Washington and Lee and Colgate and majoring in economics but Im not sure as to whether this will hurt my chances at getting a better job in the standard post college pre MBA period. Instead will schools like Lehigh, BU, Northeastern, etc...offer better career prospects straight out of college just because of their large alumni, more recognizable names, and convenient locations?</p>
