Student to faculty ratio

Traditional LACs have approx 2k kids. Highly unlikely 15% of the whole student body wants to take a specific class at the same time. Even mid size - (5k - 10K) would be hard pressed to have that demand on a regular basis

Stanford and Harvard are mid size schools, but have such high demand for their introductory computer science courses that they enroll 700 students in those courses. Harvey Mudd, a LAC with about 800 students, enrolls 200 in its introductory computer science course.
