“try avoiding liberal arts colleges … Students tend to exhaust all the [math] courses”

As researched for another thread, Hamilton College offers 40 courses in its math department, with 34 of those above the introductory level. If there is a significant advantage in depth in getting an undergraduate math degree from a university, then I have yet to have been made aware of what it would be based on.

Even by percentages of math majors, some liberal arts colleges stand out in comparison to universities:

Williams: 13%
Hamilton: 10%
Bowdoin: 9%
U of Chicago: 8%
MIT: 6%
