Major: History/Histories (art history/etc.) (This Major's Salary over time)
A lot of people are opposed to PBA on two grounds:

1. Rules on campus: If you want these things really bad, go elsewhere. PBA has decided to keep some (relatively liberal) rules to foster academic growth and the Christian spirit. If you want to party all day long, then go to FSU.

2. Academics: I don't know as much about the other schools, but the professors in Arts & Sciences are certainly very intelligent and well-respected. I think PBA is one of those places that doesn't have a name like Harvard or Yale, but can offer a more reasonable education.

If all you care about is a name on your degree that will get you a job, PBA may not be for you. PBA doesn't have a well-established name like Harvard, but offers a more reasonable education. The History department, for example, does not contain any Marxists or conspiracy theorists. Many of the northeastern schools do, though. At PBA (or really anywhere), you must be involved to get your education.

Plus, the campus is beautiful and a mile from the beach.
