[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do know that CMC is great for study of econ & government, but am surprised and suspicious of CMC's website claiming 16 history profs for a school of just 1,240 students. How many CMC students graduate each year with a degree in history ?[/quote]
From their factbook, it looks like 16 or so, which is pretty substantial when half the class is taken by econ. They likely need to provide more professors for the consortium and to beat the resources over at Pomona.[/quote]

A lot of LACs exaggerate faculty size by listing many who are inactive at that school. Most recent example is a small LAC in Maine which lost almost all of its econ dept unexpectedly. Go to the website and over a dozen econ profs are listed even though they were/are no longer teaching there.

CMC is an outstanding school & does not need to exaggerate. 16 history profs for a school of about 1,250 students is hard to believe. How many students graduate with a degree in history from CMC each year ?[/quote]
DC goes to CMC.

Losing almost all of your econ department isn't exaggerating, its tragic (also, is it Bates?). I've never heard of this. CMC updates their pages every semester, they really don't have massive faculty.

Of the 16 history professors, only two aren't teaching next semester-which is pretty typical for a few professors to be on their mandatory leave. Each year there are quite a few history majors, but not as large as say Econ. Maybe 15-20.[/quote]
