Knowing that you want an academically focused college with excellent financial aid and real education programs, I’d take a look at these as they all had students getting bachelor’s in education, per IPEDS:
- Boston College (MA) – 100% of need met
- Brandeis (MA): 97% of need met
- Skidmore (NY) – 99% of need met
- Smith (MA) – 100% of need met
- Syracuse (NY) – 95% of need met
- Vassar (NY) – 100% of need met
- Wheaton (MA) – 96% of need met
These aren’t quite as generous, but may be worth a look.
- Providence (RI): 91% of need met
- Stonehill (MA): 90% of need met
As always, for every school you’re giving serious consideration to, run the Net Price Calculator. Not all schools calculate need in the same way, and Williams is among the most generous in defining need.
College Navigator offers a plethora of information, including the number of majors in the most recent graduating class by field, if you’re looking to see to what extent degrees listed on a school’s website are being used.
