[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there are a lot of people who can't cut it in engineering, math and the hard sciences. They can type lots of paragraphs about why a SLAC education is superior though, lol. [/quote] As others have indicated, math and sciences are majors as LACs. I can't help but think that much of this criticism of LACs is a big misunderstanding about what an LAC is. Some people seem to think LAC students study nothing but poetry and art. Compare Amherst, an LAC, and UVA, a state university, for percentage of majors. Amherst Computer Science: 7% Math/Statistics: 13% Physical Sciences: 3.9% Biological/Life Sciences: 9.9% Total M + S = 35% UVA Computer Science: 4.15% Math/Statistics: 1.54% Physical Sciences: 2.8% Biological/Life Sciences: 6.58% Total M + S = 15% [/quote]
