^ actually, most of the colleges you listed have similar requirements to LACs.
Strictly speaking the liberal arts include the arts, humanities, science, math, and social science. They don’t include engineering, nursing, education, or Business… Although many LACs include one of those. LACs all have a “personality” and are undergraduate-focused with discussion-based classes rather than lecture-based classes. The amount of general education classes is unrelated to their status as a regional or national university or LAC.
For instance, Amherst and Hamilton have no gen ed requirements BTW so if you want to avoid humanities and social sciences you can (although an ability to read, write, and speak well at the professional level -not HS level- is a must-have… and these colleges expect you to have enough intellectual curiosity to be interested in classes outside your major.)
