Are top LACs considered Equal to Top Universities

@katliamom many LACs don’t offer the large selection of upper division math courses desired by the top graduate programs

I’m sure that’s true that the number of courses varies widely and I do not doubt that larger schools offer more. I don’t know how many math majors plan on continuing math in grad school, I’m guessing that’s a minority, but if that’s the goal it should be taken into consideration.

Williams math majors seem to mostly go right to work but a few are doing “top grad program” PhDs in math or related subjects. https://math.williams.edu/majors/post-graduate-mathematics-major-plans/

I think it’s @circuitrider who has a lists of top feeders to math PhD programs and as I recall LACs are very well represented but I may not remember that correctly.
