Overall, a Top LAC program in subjects like CS and Biology is comparable and in some cases superior to what you can get from a at a larger institution. You need to do your homework!!!! LACs like Swarthmore, Williams, Pomona, Bowdoin and Amherst offer outstanding programs in the sciences and liberal arts. All the LACs listed are top feeders schoos for Ph.D. programs in the sciences.

^No, you need to do your homework. Bio--absolutely, top LACs excel. CS--surprisingly sparse. As I'm considering a double major in CS and looking primarily at LACs, I've done a lot of research in this area, looking at individual programs. As a relatively new, interdisciplinary science, CS is not developed nearly to the extent as other sciences at LACs.
