<p>What exactly are those? I thought LAC are generally small and research universities are larger but some universities describe themselves as both.</p>
<p>There are some smaller research universities with a "liberal arts" feel, such as:</p>
<p>Clark University
College of William and Mary
Tufts University</p>
<p>W&M/Rice/Tufts/Wake Forest have graduate programs but without a doubt the emphasis of the school is undergrad education. These schools are perfect for those who want small classes/teaching professors but are afraid a school population of 1500 would be smothering.</p>
