[quote=Anonymous]If you want to claim students from SLACs can communicate better than students in highly specialized programs, you are most likely correct.  The real question is did the SLAC have anything to do with creating this lead in communication skills or did the SLAC students walk into college with a lead and both the SLAC and research university improved communications equally?

See the thing is the other part of your statement, that SLAC students can think better than specialized students only applies to whatever they chose to study and think about in college.  The specialized engineer can think circles around the SLAC student when it comes to the technical parts of their engineering major.

Similarly, their are all types of communication.  I'm sure a SLAC student gain some communication skill capability to help say win an election on the engineer BUT the engineer almost certainly gained relative to the SLAC student in communicating the design of a new product to those who will actually have to put the product together.
