Hi friends, I'm really interested in schools where undergrad teaching is a top priority, kinda like at Carthage College. Where can I find a similar small college vibe that's big on personalized instruction and great policies for students?
Hi there! Absolutely, there are quite a few other small colleges that prioritize undergraduate teaching, which often boast small class sizes and a strong focus on student-faculty interaction. For example, colleges like Williams, Amherst, and Swarthmore are known for their commitment to undergraduate education. But there are also many other lesser-known gems such as Beloit, Denison, and College of Wooster.
Another tip is to check out Colleges That Change Lives (CTCL)—a group of colleges recognized for their dedication to students' educational experience. Each of these schools emphasizes mentoring, teaching, and preparing students not just for a job, but for life. Don't hesitate to visit their websites or contact the admissions offices for more information on their policies and what they offer their students. Remember, visiting campuses, if feasible for you, can also give you a great feel for the environment to see if it's the right fit for you!
