We are hosting a talk by reps from Bucknell University, Southern Methodist University, and Tulane University on Monday 14 March at 4 pm. 

This session aims to demystify a few myths about liberal arts education.

Liberal arts colleges provide a well-rounded education not only in humanities and social sciences. Students can choose speciality majors like engineering, film or business. For instance students at Bucknell University can study Engineering and specialise in various majors that are certified by ABET. The representative from Southern Methodist University will share information about its various programs including the specialised BFA in film and elaborate about the curriculum, portfolio expectations and career prospects. At the session you will also learn how student at Tulane University can major in Business and take advantage of its well endowed research institutes for entrepreneurship, ethics and international business to name a few.

Bucknell offers over 50 majors and 65 minors in the arts, engineering, humanities, management, sciences and social sciences. The student-faculty ratio is 9:1, which means that professors take the time to get to know students personally and provide help and advice – and not just in class.
