<p>It looks like the science departments do a very good job of getting research information to the students.</p>

<p>I have no idea about her particular circumstances, but you can easily find on the Carleton website what classes are offered.</p>

<p>The number of rising juniors declaring biology majors at Carleton ROSE last year to about 14% with the physical sciences also rising to about another 16%. These numbers are among the highest of any general college/university in the country. </p>

<p>The school also churns out more PhD’s in the sciences and math than almost any school nationally - percentage-wise higher than the entire Ivy League, significantly higher than any state university. </p>

<p>About 97% of freshmen return sophomore year - a rate of demonstrated satisfaction that is also one of the highest in the country (UMinnesota, by comparison, sits at about 86%).</p>

<p>Carleton certainly seems to be doing a lot of things very, very right. See the attached article from the Chronicle of Higher Education last year detailing some of their accomplishments in the sciences for women, in particular.
