[quote=Anonymous]Most top SLACs don't have in-house engineering programs, except Swarthmore, Smith, and Harvey Mudd. Most top SLACs have science and math departments that can teach foundational level sciences and math. If a SLAC student wants to pursue engineering, they must supplement foundational sciences/math with engineering courses elsewhere. Sciences and math are taught in SLACs as a field of knowledge, much like literature, philosophy, and religion. So, they tend to be more theoretical, not practical. This, as I understand it, is the purpose of liberal arts education. This is the reason why in SLACs, you typically do not find business courses like finance and accounting. That's not to say that state unis or community colleges do not educate their students. Their mission is different.[/quote]
