Research expenditures/funding

<p>Check the LACs of interest and ask about research. Don’t just say “do you have research” because most will likely truthfully say yes. Ask how to see the professor biographies for the professors in your field of interest; they will have a list of publications and research areas listed. You could even ask how many of those publications and research projects are shared with undergrads. Granted, they have less of it than the big state schools do, but many do have some, and what there is isn’t taken by the better-qualified grad students. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
