Liberal Arts colleges with business?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>So I'm really interested in going to a liberal arts college and I'm interested in double majoring in international relations and business (or international business if theres a major for it.) </p>

<p>I know a few liberal arts colleges have a business program like swarthmore and gordon, but does anyone know any others? </p>

<p>I currently have a 3.7 gpa, 560 in reading and writing (which i will most definitely be taking again in november) and I have a lot of internships and volunteer and club stuff so my EC's are pretty good. </p>

<p>Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks!!! :)</p>

<p>Dartmouth is a superb university-LAC hybrid that has a business school.</p>

<p>I don’t recommend LACs for either of your two expressed interests.</p>

<p>really? why not?</p>

<p>Trinity University in San Antonio is essentially a 3000 student LAC with a business program, engineering program, and health science program. I don’t think they have an international business major, but they do have classes in international business. TU is very big on internships; having an internship (for pay or for credit) or doing undergraduate research is required for graduation.</p>

<p>I would not worry. The negative answer probably reflects a lacking understanding of the international relations programs taught at LACs and a literal definition of business courses.</p>

<p>Dartmouth does not offer an undergrad biz major (or minor, for that matter). Dartmouth just recently added a few undergrad business-related courses, however. But with a 3.7 and sub-600 test scores, it’s not even worth considering.</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna and Babson come to mind.</p>

8

<p>Claremont McKenna…not an option with the OP’s stats…</p>

9

<p>I didn’t read the OP, just the title. Whoops.</p>

<p>But Babson is very good in business; you can always give that a shot.</p>

10

<p>Most LAC do not have business majors. But I’d look into Muhlenberg, Skidmore & Dickinson and see if they might be good fits. Babson is a grea school but its pretty much only for business, not a traditional LAC.</p>

11

<p>You should take a look at Rollins. They have an International Business program.</p>

12

<p>I doubt you’d get into Swarthmore, but I’d recommend taking a look at Franklin and Marshall–lovely school.</p>

13

<p>Rhodes is a reach that has majors in business, international studies, international business, and an international studies/economics bridge.</p>

14

<p>wow thank you for all of the suggestions everyone!</p>

15

<p>Boston College has a liberal arts feel to it. Bowdoin and Babson are good choices. Bentley isn’t a bad option either.</p>

16

<p>Sorry, but BC and Bowdoin aren’t realistic with the OP’s current numbers…dunno about the other two.</p>

<p>Strictly speaking, “liberal arts college with business” is an oxymoron. You have to either relax your curriculum guidelines to add vocational majors (which are not “liberal arts”), or else stretch your definition of “business” (to study it from a liberal-artsy perspective). </p>

<p>Check out some of the US News “regional” universities such as Loyola University Maryland. These schools tend to grant up to half their degrees in vocational fields (like marketing or accounting) and the rest in arts & sciences. They are usually LAC-sized or a little larger, and less selective than the “national” LACs.</p>

18

<p>You might want to take a look at St. Anselm(NH). As previously mentionted Rollins may also work.</p>

19

<p>Check out Franklin & Marshall, American U and (maybe a bit of a stretch), William & Mary (easier to get in if you are male) and George Washington U.
Good luck, Londondad.</p>

<p>Wake Forest is a reach for OP.</p>

<p>Lower ranked, Iona, Hofstra, LIU, St. Johns, Fordham and Pace, if you like NYC and the burbs.</p>
