Liberal Arts with Good Business

<p>Hey, I'm currently a junior at a school in central Mass and like everyone else,looking at colleges. I currently have about a 3.4 UW/3.8W with some Honors and AP thrown in. Did pretty poorly on SATs (600 CR, 500 M, 600 ) but am getting a tutor. But I also have some great ECs like treasurer of class, MUN award winner at BU/MIT (honorabe mention) and US-UNA (best delgation), president of choir, active parishoner/musician, involved in volunteer organizations, NHS and JDRF walk. Looking at Marist, Stonehill, Providence, Saint Anselm's, St. Michaels, Bryant, Fairfield and Merrimack and Assumption. I will probably enter undecided no matter where I'll go, but I'm looking for a liberal arts schoolthat has a big concentration on business. I can't go to a full out business school because I'm still debating between business and polysci. Am I overlooking anywhere?</p>

<p>look at Trinity University. It is good LAC, but the most popular major is business. I don't think it is known in Massachusetts, but it is very highly respected in Texas.</p>

<p>Actually, I have a friend down at Trinity University. She was really bright. I would definetly consider it, but I'm positive my parents wouldn't let me go that far away. Thanks for the suggestion.</p>

<p>I see, is she currently a student there ? Look at the University of Richmond, a top LAC with a top business school.</p>

<p>Babson College</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestion danhernan and yes my friend is currently a sophmorethere and loves it. URichmond has an excellent rep. from everyone I've talked to and I love Virginia in general. Thanks liek0806 as well, Babson's a great school, but I'm not sure if it offers a big liberal arts circulum.</p>

<p>Hey, just throwing it out there myself but what about Bentley? Does it have a good liberal arts school.</p>

<p>From my understanding, both Bentley and Babson are basically business schools. I doubt there is a huge emphasis on the liberal arts.</p>

<p>Washington & Lee, Bucknell if you are able to improve SATs.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, thats what I was thinking about babson and bentley. I would definetly love Bucknell, gellino, I just don't know if my gpa's high enough and it all depends on the sat's. I really wanted to look at dickinson too, but I know little about it.</p>

<p>University of Santa Clara. Great! (top 25) business school, fine liberal arts, beautiful campus, weather terrific, and your stats aren't far off.</p>

<p>Though a business school, there are liberal arts at Babson. Take a look at their sample 4-year outline:
<a href="http://www3.babson.edu/UG/academics/Dean/upload/UG_CurrGuide07_4yrsheet.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www3.babson.edu/UG/academics/Dean/upload/UG_CurrGuide07_4yrsheet.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>There is a fair bit of room for liberal arts courses towards the end of your time there. So it isn't 100% business. And the concentrations reflect this, with such non-business choices as "Ethics, Philosophy and Culture" and "Historical and Political Studies" among others. In other words, it might be worth a second look.</p>

<p>Personally, I applied there as a freshman, but passed on going, because I dislike their educational approach. But it is a great choice for the right kind of person.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions gprime and mini. Unfortunetly, mni, mom and dad won't be up for me going to California for college. Babson sounds like a great idea.</p>
