Business at Smith?

MWFN, I pointed out elsewhere that many schools offering graduate MBA programs don’t even offer undergrad business degrees. You correctly identify the reason, which I hadn’t thought to, though I’d nibbled around the edges: many of the “better” universities and liberal arts colleges deliberately eschew the whole “pre-professional” part of the academic spectrum. As I’d noted, even the top law and medical schools aren’t thrilled with majors of “pre-law” and “pre-med” per se.

I think a lot of grad schools and ultimately employers are looking for well-rounded people who can bring perspectives from the broader world into the organization.
