<p>I kind of assumed that all schools had these majors, but Colgate doesn't have either and Skidmore doesn't have journalism.</p>
<p>Does this mean I can't go into business or journalism? Or are those graduate programs anyways? Thank you!</p>
<p>Many liberal arts schools don’t have business programs because they think those degrees are too skills oriented. However many liberal arts grads pursue business degrees after studying economics. At a liberal arts school you could major in English.
There are lots of threads and debates in here about these different approaches to going in to business, including some recent ones. You may want to read them.

<p>Thanks so much for your advice! The article was very interesting as well.</p>
<p>It means you should pick different schools. That would be like going into Juilliard if you want to major in Math. What? No.</p>

<p>Just the opposite, Of the Ivies, for example, only Penn offers traditional undergrad biz (Wharton). (Cornell has an excellent biz program, but its curriculum requirements are rather different than most biz programs.) Larger colleges, and publics, do offer one or both. </p>
<p>And liberal arts schools, by definition, focus on traditional liberal arts. (Business and journalism are considered ‘vocational’ majors by academia.)</p>
<p>At many schools, prospective journalism majors simply write for the school newspaper and try to get professional experience, and a professional portfolio, through internships. Both are also enough to get into journalism grad schools, if that’s what you’d chose.</p>
