<p>Is it good at math? And what are its best subjects?</p>
<p>Carleton is good at math. The sciences as well are quite strong. Geology in particular is notable.</p>
<p>Carleton generally ranks in the top ten among four-year liberal arts colleges in the number of students who go on to earn a Ph.D. in the natural sciences and mathematics (geology, chemistry, physics/astronomy, biological sciences, and mathematics) and Carleton is often the only college ranked in the top 10 in all fields of the natural sciences and mathematics. </p>
<p>Carleton alumni also generally win more prestigious National Science Foundation research fellowships than those of nearly every other small college in the nation.</p>

<p>That link might be interesting to you. Carleton ranks in the top 10 out of all American colleges and Universities in PhD productivity for life sciences (Biology/Environmental Studies/Chemistry), physical sciences, physics, and history, and is 6th in overall PhD productivity. </p>
<p>I’m probably going to be a biology major, although I’m in geology and have taken astronomy and Calculus as well. I’d say that the sciences, at least in my experience, are very strong.</p>
