General Questions

<p>I was recently looking at Lafayette as a possible college for me to go to and I have a few questions about it.</p>

<p>What are the class sizes?</p>

<p>Is it a good school for accounting?</p>

<p>Is there any alumnis' of Lafayette that have any feedback about it?</p>

<p>I may think of a few others but that is all for now.</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>StudentCole,</p>

<p>The average class size, as published in the official literature, is 18. However, that figure takes into account the larger introductory science courses (upwards of 60 students apiece). If you were interested in a subfield of our Economics & Business major, you'd be looking at class sizes capped at 20-25 for the more popular classes and around 10-15 for many others.</p>

<p>Although Lafayette doesn't offer a major in Accounting, per se, we do offer courses in accounting out of our E&B department. Our E&B department is top-notch, with many opportunities to intern with alumni and great connections out of NYC for those interested in going straight into a career. I had spoken about the E&B program previously on these boards, and I've taken the liberty of posting my comments here:</p>

<p><<< Economics & Business (E&B) majors are heavily recruited by employers. In fact, Career Services seems to cater extensively to E&B majors with major-specific career fairs, alumni dinner panels, networking nights in NYC, and amazing internship opportunities with members of our dedicated alumni network.</p>

<p>I actually know a few students who recently graduated and went directly into posh full-time investment banking positions in New York City. It really is amazing how respected our E&B program is by outside corporations, which may explain why more than 15% of students decide to major in E&B at Lafayette.</p>

<p>Just to summarize, E&B is one of Lafayette's strongest academic departments (I'd argue it's second behind Engineering). >>></p>

<p>As for your last question, there is a CC user, Lafalum84, who I'm sure would be eager to share her experiences.</p>
