<p>The problem is that your criteria, small size but with extensive offerings in many subjects, are somewhat contradictory. Most UCs fulfill the latter, but not the former.</p>
<p>Other options involve two schools:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Start at community college (with small classes) for two years, transfer to UC or CSU as a junior (with large selection of majors to apply to and small upper division classes) to finish bachelor’s degree in another two years.</p></li>
<li><p>Start at a liberal arts college (with small classes) for three years, transfer to a college with engineering to finish dual bachelor’s degrees in the next two years (“3+2 program”).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>However, these options do have drawbacks compared to attending a single school for all four years.</p>
