<p>I can give you some input on Vassar, seeing as I’m a current student. </p>
<p>Thanks to the fact that there are a good deal of pre-med students at Vassar, the biology, chemistry, and biochemistry programs are all quite strong. Biology, in particular, is quite a large department, considering the fact that Vassar is a small LAC. It offers classes in a variety of different sub-fields (microbiology, botany, ecology, cellular biology, anatomy & physiology, developmental biology, genetics, immunology) and stresses the importance of lab work, even in the earliest courses. In addition to Biology and Biochemistry, Vassar also offers a major in Environmental Studies which stems largely from the biology department. Vassar’s chemistry program is smaller than it’s biology, but still quite solid thanks to the amount of pre-med students at the school.</p>
<p>Psychology is another major strength at Vassar thanks to the large amount of student interest in the field. It features a department with approximately twenty professors and classes in a variety of sub-fields. In addition, thanks to the strength of the psychology department, Vassar is also able to offer a Cognitive Science and a Neuroscience program, both of which are quite solid.</p>
<p>The physics and astronomy department at Vassar is smaller in size that those I’ve mentioned so far, with nine professors. That being said, it is still a solid program and, thanks to its small size, is able to offer its students lots of opportunities for research and work with faculty members.</p>
<p>Lastly, the math program at Vassar is something like the physics and astronomy department in that it ranks as one of the school’s smaller science-related departments. That being said, it is also a very solid program.</p>
