[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But SLACs don't usually offer finance or business majors, do they?[/quote]

No.  But they produce critical thinkers who analyze and write well.

I'd take one of those over a business major any day of the week.[/quote]
So a business major can't think critically or analyze and write well?

Ok.[/quote]

"Students majoring in business spend less time studying than anyone else on campus, according to the National Survey of Student Engagement. They also spend less time reading and writing than other majors. One analysis of 10 public four-year universities in Texas found that of the 40 courses needed for a business degree, only one required a writing assignment of 20 or more pages, and only three required assignments of at least 10 pages.

What’s more, the results of national standardized tests, such as the Collegiate Learning Assessment Plus, given to freshmen and seniors, found that students who major in business made significantly fewer gains in college in critical thinking, writing and communication, and analytical reasoning than those who studied mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as the traditional liberal arts (philosophy, history, and literature)."
