@UCB: I think you’re being a little unfair to Sarah Lawrence. It’s a small LAC, and as such, subject to the same curriculum limitations as many other small LACs. Why single it out? I also don’t think it’s any more “pre-professional” than lots of other LACs who send kids to business, law and medical school.

What makes SLC unique is not the courses it offers, but the close relationship you get with the professors and the opportunity to do a lot of independent study. In that respect, SCL probably offers more depth than the course catalogue will show.

Sure, if your goal is to do cutting edge research in a physics lab, then SCL is not the school for you, but caveat emptor. It’s up to the OP to research whether any of these suggestions will have what he wants.
