[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me the appeal of a LAC is for humanities courses where small class discussions are beneficial. In my experience, this isn't as much of a need in STEM courses, so no need for a LAC to study STEM. There are STEM oriented small schools, e.g. Harvey Mudd. OP you might expand your search to mid-size uni's or smaller state schools if the huge ones seem overwhelming for your DC. [/quote] LACs tend to produce a disproportionate number of STEM PhDs, though. It could be because LAC students may get to work closer with professors. Regarding computer science, there are many more positions than there are students. This is why the U.S. is so heavily dependent on India for developers. I work in software product management and my impression is computer science majors often transition into the business side for career advancement. Being well-rounded can help in this transition.[/quote]
