Regarding math at LACs:
- Teams from liberal arts colleges have been known to perform within the top 30 when against schools from all categories in the U.S. and Canada in the Putnam Mathematical Competition.
- Top LAC programs typically offer 15-20 courses beyond multi-variable calculus (with ~12+ on the junior/senior level). The possibility of limited course selection should be considered on a school-by-school basis, but should not be generalized to include all liberal arts colleges.
- For the strongest LAC math students, a semester in Budapest for complementary course topics would be encouraged.
