If you want a STEM major, attend a STEM focused school, if you want a liberal arts-focused education, attend an LAC, if you want a bit of both, either attend a university, or find a school that is part of consortium that offers the classes that interest you. If they are only graduating a small handful of students in these majors, then there is most likely little demand for the upper level classes in these departments. Smaller classes can be good, but there is a point of diminishing returns. If there is a vibrant graduate program, then perhaps an undergraduate program is sustainable, but otherwise, focus on what you can do well. They might take a small hit to their reputation short-term, but hopefully this will be seen as a smart move.
