[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of particular programs at two of these colleges, Williams is notable for art history and Amherst is notable for neuroscience. Both offer[b]national-level economics programs[/b].[/quote]
What does that mean? Amherst also seems to have very few permanent faculty and dedicated faculty to neuroscience.[/quote]

Amherst established the first neuroscience major in the country and it is considered one of the most rigorous academic majors at the college. Amherst is also known for pre-med. It's historically had the highest acceptance rate of SLACS. Pomona is close.

True that Williams is by far the strongest program in art history. Also well known for econ and math.

Swarthmore is unique in having engineering.

I think of Pomona for CS these days. Huge advantage of access to Harvey Mudd classes as well.

Bowdoin solid and well-rounded in its offerings.

I think they're all pretty equally strong in the humanities (outside of art history). Some differences in the social and hard sciences.[/quote]
