Should I transfer?

<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I've just recently begun to consider the possibility of transferring to another college. I currently attend Case Western as a freshmen. The reason I'm having doubts about Case is that I am a liberal arts student (majoring in history and maybe polisci too), and Case is very much, almost overwhelmingly geared toward the physical sciences and engineering, as well as computer science. The students who aren't in studying one of those are usually business. Social sciences students are a small minority here. Virtually everyone I've come across is in something scientific. This is somewhat annoying because almost no one here has similar interests to me.</p>

<p>Of course, so far the humanities classes I have are fine, but I've looked at the course options it there seem to be surprsingly limited options with fields like plisci, philosophy, and most of the subjects that interest me. Worse yet, even those are often geared toward science. The philosophy dept. is mostly oriented toward philosophy of science (which doesn't really interest me), a lot of the relativevely few English courses offered are things like "writing for engineers" and whatnot.</p>

<p>I suppose my general question is, is it worrth it to consider transferring to a more liberal arts oriented school, or am I likely to get as good of a liberal arts education here as I would at somewhere else?</p>

<p>And when I'm applying to grad schools, will the top notch schools (I think of u of chicago in particulary) take my liberal arts bachelors degrees from Case seriously? Or will it basically be like having gone to a lower quality school?</p>

<p>The grad schools will take your CWU degree seriously. Don’t worry about that one.</p>

<p>Why are you there if the humanities programs are not what you want? Did you change your original plan for a major? Technology is going to be a dominant force in the world economy for the next century, perhaps being a History major surrounded by engineers is not such a bad thing. When you go out into the world as a humanist, you will be more fluent in the culture of technology than all those typical liberal arts graduates. This may be a big advantage for you.</p>
