[quote=Anonymous]19:45 poster here ~ If DD wants to look at larger universities, I would suggest looking for those with a college of communications/or similarly titled. Those majors typically do not require advanced math or foreign language. Sometimes other "colleges" within universities have smilar advantages for this type of student: criminal justice, agriculture, fine arts. It's important to go over with a fine-toothed comb, the undergraduate catalogue online. Really look at the classes required of each major and what is required to be accepted to the major.

Next I would consider a very light schedule especially freshmen year. 12 credits is still full time. Or encourage DC to sign up liberally and drop a class or two, if they need to, once they have tried it out. At a larger university there is more flexibility/more classes/more teachers. More choice can be helpful. If your DD goes the smaller-school route (Colleges that Change Lives) look at graduation rates. Some aren't that good - easy to get in, not so easy to get out.[/quote]
