How Often Does DU Change Their Major?
By Paul A. Djupe They ask it (“What’s your major?”) as if it’s the only question, like there’s nothing else to the college experience than the major. Of course it’s an important choice, but one among many at a liberal arts college. And how are you supposed to know how to make that choice if…
Ride or Die with the Liberal Arts

Which Major Best Prepares You for Post-Grad Life?
By Paul A. Djupe Choosing a major is often billed as one of the most consequential decisions you’ll make, perhaps in life.

At…

[Image credit: CNN, 2011] By Jeffrey Alder Stroll across Denison University’s campus, and you might guess that the most contentious Greeks at this fair college on the hill are Socrates and Plato — guess again. Universities around the country are facing an epidemic: national Panhellenic organizations, known as Greek life, have a large drinking problem,…
Changing Majors: The Law of Unintended Consequences
By Paul A. Djupe There’s this old show called Felicity that I really liked back in the day. Felicity applied to NYU on a lark to chase a boy. That’s ridiculous, obviously, but she quickly moved past that hiccup in cognition and took advantage of all that college had to offer. The reason I mention…
