Not that I am aware of. You can check their website for specific course listings and requirements. As long as you are ok with a crucifix above the door in the classroom (I’m thinking of Notre Dame, I believe).</p>
<p>Carleton College
Harvey Mudd College
Rice University
University of Chicago (not small, but not large either)</p>
<p>Definitely add Haverford and Wesleyan. They’re very proud of their science programs, and for good reason.</p>
<p>Olin (Mass.) is a small engineering college that gives a full tuition scholarship to everyone who gets in. Sweeet! I believe Cooper Union (NY) does the same.</p>
<p>Like all Jesuit colleges (Georgetown, Boston College, Fordham, etc) at College of the Holy Cross, the Catholic services and activities are there for those who want them but many students operate in a purely secular fashion at the college. There are ministers in the Chaplain’s office who are Protestant and there are students from many faiths there including Muslims, Jews, etc or no faith at all.</p>
<p>Olin/Cooper Union are engineering schools. They don’t offer any science programs (beyond what’s needed for the engineering).</p>
<p>Olin and Cooper Union are engineering schools and don’t offer sciences…</p>
<p>A few things about Harvey Mudd, it’s one of the hardest schools in the country. If you’ve read the US News College Edition this past year it featured Harvey Mudd and talked about how this campus tour saw some guy screaming like crazy because he got his first A at Mudd. It’s been consistently listed among the top 20 schools where students work the hardest. Also, HMC is strictly science/engineering majors. However, there is the Claremont consortium which HMC is a part of. There are 4 highly ranked colleges within a block or two of HMC (Scripps, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer) so there are many opportunities for cross-registration at those colleges. Plus, you won’t be blocked in by only science majors.</p>

<p>This country offers a wide range of what might be characterized as “religious schools”.
If we are talking about the most prestigious ones, we probably are referring to the top Roman Catholic schools, such as Notre Dame, Georgetown, Boston College, and Holy Cross.</p>
<p>For any school of interest, you should check carefully into policies and practices. The nature or degree of religious influence on “campus culture” may not be trivial for you. At Notre Dame, for example, 85% of students are Catholic. The school still has parietal hours. According to their web site there is a 4-unit Religion requirement.</p>
<p>Thanks guys :)</p>
<p>I second the Claremont colleges, especially Pomona (besides HMC). Pomona has a myriad of fullbright scholars which are doing advanced scientific research all around the globe. I also know that the biology and chemistry departments at Pomona are top notch.</p>
<p>This topic has been beaten to death many, many times. In fact, a long-time poster compiled such a list because this topic comes up so much. </p>

<p>Rennsalear Polytechnic Institute, NY
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA
Ohio Wesleyan University
Allegheny College, PA
College of Wooster, OH</p>
<p>Loyola University New Orleans has great science departments, with lots of research opportunities available to undergrads. Lots of study abroad options. The tropical ecology course is spending two weeks in Belize right now and will be back after Memorial Day, leaving the summer available still for more stuff to do.</p>
<p>Small classes, caring faculty, great location, on the streetcar line, across from gorgeous Audubon Park. The best tourist bargain in New Orleans is ride the streetcar the whole route and look at the gorgeous homes on Saint Charles Avenue. The streetcar will take you to the grocery, drugstore, restaurants, the Quarter. No need for a car.</p>
<p>Definitely check it out.</p>
<p>NYU - Poly</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Thanks for the inputs.</p>
<p>And Wooster sounds funny…sounds like my brother when he tries to say Rooster xD</p>
<p>FWIW: Interesting list in post #36. I have no idea where these recommendations come from, but it is worth noting that only a small handful of LACs mare listed in all four areas (bio, chem, physics, and geology).</p>
<p>Four listings: Grinnell, Bryn Mawr, Carleton, Williams, Lawrence U, Bowdoin, Bates, Beloit, Macalester, Franklin & Marshall
Three listings: Swarthmore (except geology), Haverford (except geology), Reed (except geology), Oberlin (except geology), Earlham (except chemistry), Harvey Mudd (except geology), Amherst (except chemistry), Allegheny (except physics), Occidental (except physics), St. Olaf (except geology), Juniata (except physics), Reed (except geology), Kalamazoo (except geology),</p>
<p>Rose Hulman sounds like an excellent fit, small school, great profs and wonderful setting.</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman’s reputation is mostly in the engineering fields not in the sciences</p>
<p>Rose hulman ok with computer science, or just engineering?</p>
<p>Even at larger schools like Cal, Cornell and Michigan, the ratio of faculty to Chemistry, Math or Physics majors is less than 1:5 and the majority of intermediate and advanced level classes have fewer than 20 students. In popular majors like Economics, Political Science and Psychology, classes will be large. But in unpopular levels like the physics sciences, classes will always be smallish.</p>
