Many of the small liberal arts colleges have great biochemistry programs. Many students don’t initial think of small liberal arts schools as science places, but many of the best small liberal arts colleges are science powerhouses (e.g., Amherst, Carleton, Grinnell, Harvey Mudd, Haverford, Reed, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Williams produce the most Ph.Ds in the sciences of the LACs). A liberal arts college provides an atmosphere for high-level research, intense and engaged study, close collaboration with faculty (without competition with grad students for faculty time), classes taught by professors (not grad students), etc. This atmosphere cultivates independent and creative thought, sound reasoning, and effective problem-solving skills.
