<p>warblersrule, where does that LAC number come from, and what is it counting? I’ve never seen a count so high for LACs before. </p>

<p>The Carnegie Foundation site lists 98 institutions with “Arts & sciences focus, no graduate coexistence” (average enrollment 1570) and another 33 “A&S-F/SGC: Arts & sciences focus, some graduate coexistence” (average enrollment 2884).

<p>According to the Carnegie Classification Wiki, there are only 270 colleges in the “Bac/A&S” category. If we add “Bac/Diverse” schools, that adds another 392.
