I know Hamilton is a Liberal Arts college, and while that’s very important to me I’m really leaning towards going more into the sciences (specifically like computer science and physics). I imagine this isn’t Hamilton’s “specialty” but I love everything else about the school. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about the sciences at Hamilton and if I’d really be limiting myself by going here?
(Also I’m not 100% sure I know what I want to major in and I have a ton of other interests I’d want to explore, which is why I’m not applying to just stem schools)
Hamilton academics distribute, by major, roughly in thirds among sciences and math, humanities and fine arts and social sciences. In this sense, the College could not be more balanced. Hamilton does, nonetheless, enroll math majors at literally ten times the national average, and this department serves to inform their natural, computer and social sciences. The College’s physics department has produced an Apker Award recipient (for undergraduate research in the field) and a Nobel Prize winner. A deep list of geosciences courses appear in the school’s catalog, as well as astronomy offerings – programs that may not be available even at some large universities. Lastly, Hamilton seems to be notably wired, @RaucousOstrich :
awesome thank you for replying!!
