In only 53 years it has cracked the upper echelon of this nation's liberal arts institutions, a very elite bunch. Note that these percentages include dual and double majors and, therefore, will add to more than 100 percent. Pay special attention to the fact that over half of CMC students have either Econ or Gov in their major. At CMC, Lit majors learn to write well so they can get into law school, Biology majors are gearing up for medical school , and Psych majors prepare for a career in consulting. CMC also places a heavy focus on leadership.
Many students participate in the Leadership Sequence, which is more or less a leadership minor.
Also note that getting the major of your choice, whether it's straight Econ or a double major, takes four years, with the exception of Management-Engineering. Almost all students get out of CMC in 8 semesters. And tacking on an extra semester is just too damn expensive. Whenever you see the student-faculty ratio, remember that it's fluff. A more important statistic is the average class size.
