1. Information on majors and programs of study is from the Completions Data File, 2011-12 (Provisional release) as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds). Top majors are the ones that have the most conferred degrees. If it says "is in" rather than just "is", then various top majors were combined into a new attribute. For example, colleges whose top major is "in engineering" will include a college whose top major is chemical engineering, another whose top major is electrical engineering, and so on.
   

Emerson College is in Boston, MA, is private and nonprofit, degree-granting, offers on-campus housing, accepts the Common Application, requires test scores for undergrad admissions, its top major is creative writing, is on the semester system, its top Masters major is marketing/marketing management, and enrolls from 1,000 to 4,999 students.
