Why don't you allow transfer credit for business-related courses or teach more of these courses?

We understand the desire of students to take more practical, or specialized vocational-related courses. However, we strongly believe in the efficacy of a liberal arts education. It has been our experience, and the experience of others, that in the long run undergraduate students will be better off, and more productive, if they attend selective liberal arts universities like St. Lawrence. Such universities seem to do a better job of developing the analytical, writing, and speaking skills vitally important in the modern global economy. Scholarly research has also confirmed this. A recent article (Black, Sanders, and Taylor, "The Economic Reward for Studying Economics," Economic Inquiry v.41, no.3, July 2003: 365-377) shows that among college graduates, economics majors generally earn more than similar individuals with business-related majors. Among individuals who pursue MBA or law degrees, economics majors earn more than those with business-related undergraduate majors.
