Telling between LAC and University Science

Caltech, OP. Or Harvey Mudd.

Amherst, Mount Holyoke, or Smith would all allow her to take PhD neuroscience courses at UMass via the 5 college consortium.

Thanks for this. There are so many blowhards on this board who don't understand what liberal arts colleges are — or that the liberal arts include life science (biology, neuroscience) and physical science (physics, astronomy, chemistry, and earth science).

And mathematics and computer science.

Neuroscience is a more rigorous version of psychology and is oftentimes pursued by women who hope to go to medical school.

Warning to OP, Harvey Mudd is a CS/Engineering college. Something ridiculous like 2% of their class majors in Bio (they only have like 10 majors). It was not a great fit for DC who cares a lot about Biochem, so we chose neighboring Caltech.

What an ignorant post. The sciences are part of the liberal arts.

Liberal Arts includes natural sciences and mathematics.
