[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because liberal arts degrees are not as popular anymore. The market has shifted. [/quote] I don’t think that’s the case. I think it’s simply that the cost of higher education has risen way beyond the rise in the cost of living. It’s simply unaffordable now, regardless of major.[/quote] This is why merit aid has become increasingly important at liberal arts schools. My kids are 5 years apart — my younger currently a senior in HS. Comparing their respective classmates (and parents of classmates), I’ve observed a huge shift in attitudes about “second tier” LACs. Five years ago very few families we knew were discussing schools like Denison, St. Olaf, etc. It is completely different this time around. It’s been really fascinating (and gratifying) to see that change.[/quote]
