What are the advantages of pursing Science in a liberal arts institution like Yale-NUS College?

Liberal arts colleges are unique and wonderful places to do Science majors. The smaller student-to-faculty ratio in Yale-NUS College means that Science students are able to work closely with faculty, not only in course work and research, but also in the laboratories, where they get to experience what it is to do research and the excitement of discovery while working on a problem that has not been solved before. A liberal arts training will also develop essential communication skills that are often neglected amongst Science students and academics. Such skills are particularly critical when it comes to presenting scientific research at conferences for example. It is also so much more fun if you are able to communicate to people what you are doing, and to share the enthusiasm and excitement of Science
