Liberal arts college

A focus in Financial Economics with an expansive liberal arts background, internship opportunities for professional development at the center of business, and a chance to network and learn abroad.

adversity a student may face throughout in college. From learning lessons on how to handle note taking, to getting the most out of the resources this college provides, the ID 106 course is a beginner's guide for successful college life.

Ungar, president of Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, author of “The New Liberal Arts” claim that “the critique… seems to be fueled by the reliance on common misperceptions” (226). It is important for people, especially high-schoolers, to know the truth about going to college and all the little things…

I began the college search process, and I felt torn between choosing a school with a strong undergraduate business program and choosing a small liberal arts college, and until I visited the University of Pennsylvania, I thought I must pick between the two. I genuinely enjoy literature and philosophy and aim to become fluent in Spanish, but I am also interested in business and want to become an entrepreneur in the future, and I absolutely love how at Penn I can combine the liberal arts education…
