[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to plug (affordable) liberal arts colleges and colleges of arts & sciences at public schools for students who come undecided and/or with a wide range of interests. My own daughters at Pitt and Oberlin have been able to explore several subjects in their first couple of years. Colleges that are more rigid about the four year plan that they've set for students can make it harder for students to graduate on time with a different major (DD's friend at Northeastern had to take an extra semester and summer of classes to switch from Business to Sociology). Pitt has pesky Gen Ed requirements but it does force students to explore many subjects and it's fairly easy to double major or minor in a bunch of things within the College of A&S (my daughter is double economics and linguistics - things that weren't on her radar prior to college and my Obie is thinking of majoring in biology and classics, with a French minor but she came in wanting to major in history and environmental studies (and hadn't learned Latin or Greek before college).[/quote][/quote]
