<p>What is the top LAC for science in the field of biology?</p>
<p>Some that I've already considered:
- Reed
- Harvey Mudd
- Caltech (well, not really an LAC, but it is a smaller school)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I can think of Wesleyan (Connecticut), Swarthmore, Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Carleton, Hope, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, and Scipps, but I do not know much about them.</p>
<p>In terms of future Ph.D. productivity, the top ones are Reed, Swarthmore, Kalamazzo, Earlham, Harvey Mudd, and Grinnell. If you are female, add Wellesley, Smith, and Mount Holyoke.</p>
<p>Future Ph.d. corrected for selectivity (that is, looking what the value-added of the school itself is), and you would add Hope and St. Olaf's and Scripps.</p>
<p>But all the top LACs have good biology departments these days.</p>
