<p>thelam - it’s no secret why CMC has climbed in the polls recently: the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance opened in 2007 to great fanfare, and just in time for the greatest recession in eighty years. Majors in accounting, finance and econ are extremely popular during uncertain times and one fourth of CMC’s faculty and a third of its endowment are devoted to RDS. Don’t get me wrong; I’m sure it’s a great program; every LAC tilts in a certain direction. </p>
<p>But, just in case you were thinking “Wait, can’t I still take science courses at Pomona?”. Sure, but that would mean, essentially, that you would be enrolling in one college (CMC) in order to take courses at another college (Pomona) in an area that Wesleyan just happens to predominate, even over Pomona: <a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/sciences/sciencefacts.html[/url]”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/sciences/sciencefacts.html</a></p>
