McGill Faculty of Arts Reputation?

Hello,

I am a Canadian citizen living in the US. I go to an extremely competitive high school and am approaching college admissions time this fall. One of my top choices is McGill because of the Canadian price I can get, and also because the school is in a wonderful city and has a fantastic reputation as a top-tier school. However, when visiting Montreal many people seemed unsure about the quality of McGill’s Faculty of Arts. I am very curious to know how reputable the faculty is, and how focused the professors are. I am interested in getting a BA and then from their deciding on graduate school, or an MBA, etc… I am looking for some information specifically regarding both the reputation of the Arts at McGill and also the quality of teaching and the program in general.

I appreciate any helpful information, regardless of the stance.

Thanks.

As a McGill student, I can attest to the fact that McGill’s name rides on its ability to produce research, not it’s teaching.
