<p>Just looking for conformation. I’ve always thought it was but i wrote something about it being liberal arts in my why Brown essay and now I’m second guessing myself. </p>

<p>So, is Brown a Liberal Arts school?</p>

2

<p>somebody please just give me a one word answer..... yes or no?</p>

<p>I think you might be able to call Brown a liberal art school since about 70% are BAs</p>

<p>it's a research university with a liberal arts feel, which is why many people choose brown in the first place. it's not pre-professional in the university sense, but it's also not as free-form (though some might disagree) as a liberal arts college - a happy medium and again, a reason why brown attracts many prospective undergrads.</p>

<p>YIKES...</p>

<p>I submitted my application before I saw any responces here, so my Why Brown essay refers to Brown as a "liberal arts college" a couple times...</p>

<p>How detrimental will this be?!?</p>

<p>Should I try to send them a revised version????</p>

<p>Not that it matters, but Brown refers to itself as a University College-- the combination of a great liberal arts foundation supported and enhanced through world class research only a university can supply.</p>

<p>If you want to know about Brown and "what it is", read some things that President Wayland wrote while here on the University College. It will make your experience at Brown far more fulfilling if you understand the place itself.</p>

<p>I appreciate the advice modestmelody. It's obviously too late for that advice to help me in the admissions process, but I will definitely look into it if I am so lucky as to be accepted.</p>

<p>Oh I don't mean that you should have done that before applying, rather optimistically stating that when you join the class of 2011 one thing that maybe helpful is reading a little of what Wayland wrote before you get here, gaining a sense of how you want to learn and what and how to go about that and what college should be like.</p>
