Isn't WFU a Liberal Arts Institution???

<p>In the Viewbook they describe it as such, but in collegeboard.com they do not. I talk a lot about the liberal arts education in relation to an entrepreneurial future in my "Why Wake Forest?" essay, so I just wanted to be 100% before I submit.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You're probably much more well informed that I am on what is the definition of a liberal arts institution. But I can tell you that at the parents' orientation they talked a lot about the importance of a liberal arts education and why they felt their divisional requirements were good for the total education of a student. Maybe collegeboard doesn't describe it that way because Wake is classified as a University and not a LAC?</p>

<p>well wake isnt just a LAC, I mean they have undergrad business and accounting schools. I think by liberal arts they mean u will get knowledge of arts, english, match, science, etc.</p>

<p>I dunno for sure though, just a guess</p>

<p>well i am seeking admission to the business part of the university, so is it still appropriate to refer to it as a 'liberal arts institution'?</p>

<p>I dunno ur guess is as good as mine. I want to seek admission to calloway aswell</p>

<p>which part of the application did you say which school you were applyin to?? i never saw it</p>

<p>You don't apply to Calloway (the b-school/accounting program) until the end of your sophomore year.</p>

<p>You'll get your liberal arts divisionals in as a freshman/sophomore. :)</p>

<p>ok gooood, i was thinkin i missed something, even though i had checked about a billion times</p>

<p>oh yea, I meant I put business as intended major (I think this was a question on the app)...and I also meant I wanted to be in calloway, but I guess u have to wait until ur junior year</p>

<p>Wake Forest University:)</p>

<p>The LAC is just a label to describe their core curriculum which they term divisionals. </p>

<p>Wake is an interesting place but it is as much as a university as Carolina etc.</p>
