Does Going to a Liberal Arts School for a STEM Degree Hurt Your Prospects?

Won’t hurt at all. In fact might help a lot if you end up working closely with faculty or writing papers as an undergrad. Like any college/university you should check the syllabus carefully, the internships or other related programs and read about how many pursue Phd’s. This data is important. You might also be able to find information regarding the department head if the school is very small. This can also help you ascertain the direction of the department ( check hiring and in which field). Make sure the school is large enough that if one or two top professors leave the program can continue at the same level.
