Does anyone have suggestions for good colleges in the Milwaukee area? I'm not sure if I want to stay close to home for college, and I'm keeping my options open. I'm leaning towards a focus on Humanities or Social Sciences.
Sure! Milwaukee, Wisconsin, offers a nice variety of colleges that could be a great fit for your interests in Humanities or Social Sciences.
Marquette University, a private Jesuit university, offers a broad array of humanities and social science programs. Notably their philosophy and political science programs are highly regarded.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a public research university, could also be a great fit. This university has robust humanities and social sciences departments and also offers a unique Urban Studies major that you might find interesting if you're interested in studying humanities with a more community-centered approach.
Another institution to consider is Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) which is primarily known for its engineering and business programs, though they also offer degrees in Business and User Experience (UX), if you're interested in applying your humanities focus to a technology-related field.
Remember that when considering colleges, you want to consider not just the department of your major, but also factors such as class size, location, availability of internships or research opportunities, campus culture, and financial aid. Good luck with your college search!
