We have a unique combination of courses and an internship requirement that prepares you for the work world. You can specialize in particular areas. Your professors get to know you. In a smaller school, this means that they can write job recommendations that are based on knowing you in class and around campus, not just by the shape of the bubbles you make on computerized test s. For example, you could take guitar lessons or photography that you've never had time to take, a May Term in Haiti or Spain which shows employers that you can get up and running quickly in new and different environments, or an independent study with a professor in an area of special interest to you.
Most schools have similar requirements.
At Earlham our general education courses are viewed as solidly supportive of a management education. They help develop your ability to think analytically and to write well.
