LAC 有不少"诗和远方"的专业

LAC 有不少"诗和远方"的专业. There is no denying that some liberal arts college students have difficulty obtaining employment upon graduation and the Claremont Colleges are no exception. I personally believe that one's employability depends on the field of study, the academic reputation of the school, and his/her own personality/maturity. Of the 5 colleges in Claremont, graduates from Harvey Mudd have the best employment prospects, followed by Claremont MeKenna, and then Pomona. The other 2 colleges in the consortuim leave much to be desired in this area. Liberal arts colleges have many majors/programs that the student has to think twice before s/he selects one if s/he wants to find a job after graduation. Some of these major are ethnic studies, gender studies, feminist studies, anthropology, art conservation, art history, classics, medieval studies, psychology, and religious studies. I am not saying that these are bad majors but the student needs to know what to do with a degree in such a field before jumping in. IMHO, one of the best majors offered by LAC is PPE (Philosophy, Politics, & Economics), which is academically vigorous and offers the students very good employment prospects in business, government, finance, and consulting (It also lays a solid foundation for the student to pursue an MBA, a PhD, or a law degree in the future).
