No, but that seems to be the way that it works at Amherst. The info in Amherst’s latest accreditation report (see post #19 above) indicates that only 56% of students in the Classes of 2002-2006 took a math or computer science course, and only 44% took a lab science course. Those figures include the math/science majors, so obviously the numbers would be even lower for majors in other disciplines.</p>
<p>Based on the available data, it would seem that Amherst has both a low number of math/science majors (at least relative to other top LACs), and relative disinterest in math/science among the humanities majors.</p>
