[b]Yes. Where professors teach everything[/b][/quote]

Because they have to since they were unable to get employment with a National University. Not intended as a knock against teachers, but the real experts in each field are at National Universities, not at small schools.[/quote]

[b]Do you really need famous historians to teach undergrad classes?[/b] This fallacy that Chad & Susie need to be dealing with world-class historians/economists/psychologists on their way to a B.A. is causing a lot of people to spend money unnecessarily. You don’t need Nick Saban to teach you to throw a f’ing spiral. Grad school, great. But undergrad??? [/quote]

No, it is not necessary.

The problem at LACs (small schools) is the lack of professors in each department & the lack of breadth & depth of courses offered.[/quote]

Completely agree.  Larger schools usually have far better, more in-depth history departments.[/quote]
