Ideally, a LAC science program should have both breadth and depth. Strong programs in geosciences, computer science, astronomy and math, in addition to providing opportunities for a major or minor themselves, will support and complement programs in physics, chemistry and biology, especially for students whose interest in science is wide ranging.
