[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would check out Denison and Wooster [/quote]

Denison is a great school but quite different. it is good to compare but DU isn’t a liberal arts college, and it is significantly larger.  [/quote]

Can you please share your thoughts on Denison and why do not consider it a liberal arts college ?

Thanks[/quote]

My DC is at Denison and I assure you that it is a liberal arts college.  It does have a professional focus and some of its majors reflect that.  Also, its career center is very active and well-funded, thanks to a big grant it received several years ago.

All that said - it is a liberal arts college.[/quote]

I’m a different poster, but I understand why the earlier poster said it wasn’t a liberal arts college, although of course it is. We did a tour last year of a number of liberal arts colleges, which included Denison. The admissions overview was very different from those of the other liberal arts colleges we visited. It definitely had a lee-professional bent with a presentation that focused heavily on “outcomes” - this is how much money you’ll make, this is where you’ll work, but no talk about their learning philosophy as a liberal arts college. It was a turn off for us, but it may strike the right notes for other people.
