[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of current student. I am just not seeing a lot of “cruising through” and mediocrity in the students I know. Brown is now almost 70% STEM and STEM adjacent. What I have observed is that these STEM students are wisely taking a really good selection of courses outside of STEM, which make them much more effective STEM students. IMO, they are better writers and problem-solvers and thinkers than STEM students in a more formulaic curriculum. Open curriculum does not equal lack of rigor, quite the opposite actually. You really need to acquaint yourself with Brown’s outplacement figures in technology, finance, consulting, and grad school. You apparently have an axe to grind regarding Brown, not sure why.[/quote]

Another Brown parent.  I'd add that many students double major,  so 70% stem doesn't equate to 30% non-stem. There are a lot of humanities majors on campus,  my kid included (who is also a math major). [/quote]

My kid had 2 concentrations there, the primary in STEM and a second in a humanities discipline. [/quote]
