The study with actual data behind it says Liberal Arts Colleges have relatively high ROI over time.  [/quote]

I guess it depends in what you are talking about. A kid who thrived in a smaller school and then went on to get a law degree is probably much more likely to have a higher salary than someone with a lame english degree.[/quote]

It doesn't depend on what I am talking about.  The study covers all students, all majors at LACs and determined the NPV/ROI was relatively high.  Liberal Arts, as previously noted, covers areas like natural sciences, not just arts and humanities.  [/quote]

Awesome! Have kiddo get a bachelor's degree in psychology and update us with his salary info![/quote]

They are two different things.  Liberal Arts isn't a major.  There are many potential majors at liberal arts institutions, including sciences.  This study was not about majors.  It simply concluded LACs actually have relatively high ROI over time.

If you want to look at the value of majors, the same center has studied that as well:  https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/valueofcollegemajors/
