I really want to major in physics at a top liberal arts school (Amherst, Williams, Pomona). I like how these schools have strong focus on undergrad and that faculty are hired for their teaching ability and not just their research ability. The small class sizes are also something that I am fan of. All this said I feel like most liberal arts schools are known for good humanity’s programs rather than science. My question is will a physics degree from one of these schools be looked down on, or not given as much credit as a degree from a similar course rigor research university? Thanks!
