為什么你想知道美國文理學(xué)院排行？因為美國人用的“學(xué)院”這個詞，意味著同樣4年制授予學(xué)位項目，就像“大學(xué)”一樣?！皩W(xué)院”和“大學(xué)”都有排名。實際上多數(shù)美國的“學(xué)院”都比“大學(xué)”好。舉個例子來說，如果你想讀一個頂級MBA課程，或者中等法律學(xué)校，如果你持有一個文科學(xué)位的話，會比商科或者前醫(yī)學(xué)或前法學(xué)課程畢業(yè)的學(xué)生有更多的錄取機(jī)會。同時你應(yīng)該知道，多數(shù)美國大學(xué)內(nèi)部都有一個文理學(xué)院。
Why do you want to know the U.S. Liberal arts College rankings?Because Americans use the word “college” to mean the same four-year degree- granting program as the word “university!” One is not better than the other. They both have #1 rankings. In fact, many of the American colleges are better than the universities. For example, if you want to go to a top MBA program, or medical or law school, you have a better chance to get in with a liberal arts degree than a business or pre-med or pre-law program in a university. At the same time you should know that most American universities have a College of Liberal arts or sometimes called Arts and Sciences College within their university.
進(jìn)入哈佛或者耶魯學(xué)院的高中生有4年的時間去拿到他們的B.A或者B.S學(xué)位。在大多數(shù)大學(xué)里大學(xué)意味著研究生院校，你認(rèn)識到這其中的區(qū)別了么？在文理學(xué)院你學(xué)的東西都是為了更好地思考，更有創(chuàng)造力，更有創(chuàng)新能力。
High school students who go to Harvard and Yale College for four years to get their B.A. or B.S. degree. “University” in most U.S. universities means graduate school. Do you see the difference? In a liberal arts college you study everything in order to learn to think and be creative and innovative.
你不是為了求職而求學(xué)。你在那里接受教育學(xué)習(xí)，為了解這個世界上有什么而學(xué)習(xí)。在你知道了你的很多選擇之后你才了解哪種職業(yè)道路適合你。在美國人17歲的時候，在知道他們的選項之前是不會選擇自己的職業(yè)的。
You are not there to train for a career. You are there to be educated and learn what there is in the world to study. To learn which career path feels right to you after you know your choices. Americans do not choose a career at 17 years old before they know their options!
通常“學(xué)院”比“大學(xué)”小，但不總是這樣。比如說達(dá)特茅斯學(xué)院（常青藤盟校之一）有超過5000個學(xué)生是一所學(xué)院，衛(wèi)理公會大學(xué)僅僅有3000個學(xué)生，卻叫做大學(xué)。
Usually a college is smaller than a university – but not always. For example Dartmouth College (Ivy League) has more than 5,000 students and is a college; Wesleyan University with only 3000 students is called a university.
重點是，為了搞清楚申請哪里，你必須仔細(xì)研究美國的“大學(xué)”和“學(xué)院”，因為你不能光從名字就知道“大學(xué)”和“學(xué)院”的區(qū)別。
The point is that you must research both the colleges and universities in America to know where to apply because you cannot tell the difference between a college and a university by their name.
如果你就讀一個美國的“學(xué)院”，你可以學(xué)中文或者英文或者文學(xué)；外國語言；科學(xué)比如生物學(xué)，化學(xué)，地理，物理；人類學(xué)比如說拉丁文，古希臘文學(xué)，宗教和哲學(xué)，歷史，視覺和行為藝術(shù)；社會科學(xué)，比如經(jīng)濟(jì)，歷史，社會學(xué)，人類學(xué)，心理學(xué)，政治學(xué)，大多數(shù)美國人畢業(yè)于美國的文理學(xué)院。
If you go to an American college you can major in Chinese or English language or literature; foreign languages; sciences such as biology, chemistry, geology, physics; humanities such as the classics (Latin and Greek), religion and philosophy, history, the visual and performing arts; social sciences such as economics, history, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political sciences. Most American undergraduate students start off in the liberal arts college.
他們可以主修任何科目，可以在讀了兩年大學(xué)學(xué)到很懂新東西之后，再選擇他們的專業(yè)。下面是50所頂尖文理學(xué)院的USnews排名。你知道的，到目前為止，排名都不是真理。事實上美國新聞是一本雜志，評估美國大學(xué)是為了賣他們的雜志，這不是一個專業(yè)協(xié)會的評估，也不是一個政府文件。這只是一個列表，對你來說要做很多研究工作找出適合自己的大學(xué)。這些大學(xué)的招生代表都曾經(jīng)飛赴中國舉行招生會，只為讓你了解更多。
They can major in any subject, they can choose their major after they have studied many new things for two years at college.Here are the top 50 U.S. Liberal Arts Colleges, according to the U.S. News & World Report rankings. You know by now that the rankings are not the truth, in this case, the U.S. News is a magazine that measures liberal arts colleges in order to sell their magazine, it is not a government document or a professional association measure. It is a list for you to check out and do your own research on each college. Many of these college admissions representatives will travel to China to hold information sessions for you to learn more.
