<p>If you are into smaller LACs (besides the obvious Harvey Mudd) Reed and Oberlin have better physics departments than most, although you should check their net price calculators on the financial front.</p>
<p>University of Minnesota - Morris is a low priced public LAC with a [tuition</a> waiver for Native Americans](<a href=“https://www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/scholarshipswaivers/americanindiantuition/]tuition”>https://www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/scholarshipswaivers/americanindiantuition/), but its physics offerings appear just barely adequate (the junior/senior level courses are mostly once every two years offerings).</p>
