Science-y Liberal Arts Schools?

Pre-med courses are quite common. Even a very arts oriented school like Sarah Lawrence has pre-med courses (though not much more than that in its science offerings).

Now, if you actually want to major in a science, you need to look at the courses and curricula for your specific science major at each college. Biology is very common, but has a lot of subareas, so you may want to check which subareas are emphasized at each school. Chemistry can be checked for [ACS approval](American Chemical Society). Physics has a well defined core set of upper division major courses that you can check for, although elective physics offerings can vary. Math is probably one of the harder subjects to find strong and deep offerings for majors at LACs for.
