<p>How would Carleton's CS n math department compare to schools like HMC and Caltech?
I know they are tech schools so they definitely have a better program, but I dont want to be too 'tech'. And how does Swarthmore compare?</p>
<p>Actually flyshow, Carleton's Math, CS, Chemistry and Physics departments are among the very best. I would say they are comparable to HMC's.</p>
<p>Agree with Alexandre about Math, CS, Chem and Physics. No engineering at Carleton (unlike HMC) but one of the very best Geology programs - anywhere.</p>
