Good Liberal Arts Colleges for Business Majors?

Hey, I've been doing some research on potential colleges, and I'm particularly interested in liberal arts colleges. Could anyone suggest a few top liberal arts colleges that are really good for business majors?

Absolutely! While many liberal arts colleges emphasize the humanities and do not explicitly offer business degrees, they often do provide economics and related majors, offering the same breadth of learning you're looking for.

Claremont McKenna College, located near Los Angeles, California, operates a highly respected economics major with tracks in both finance and accounting. Claremont McKenna is also part of the Claremont College Consortium, allowing students to cross-register at nearby Pomona and Scripps Colleges and access resources throughout the five-college community.

Another potential recommendation is Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. The school's Williams School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics offers majors in business administration, accounting, and economics.

Finally, Middlebury College in Vermont has a strong international politics and economics program. This will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of global economic forces.

Remember, while these schools may be strong in business-related areas, you'll want to look at the broader academic climate as well. Look for schools with strong offerings outside of your primary interest, particularly the general education requirements, as they can enhance your overall skill set and prepare you for numerous career paths. For example, strong programs in humanities and sciences will provide critical thinking and analytical skills that will be highly beneficial in a business career.

Finally, consider speaking with current students or alumni from these schools to get a sense of the environment and to see how well the programs prepared them for their career paths.
