Is it true in general? A small case study (Berea College, 655 students) absolutely does not represent the whole case. It'd be better to look at a school that has strong science/math/engineering programs. The university I'm at now, the University of ___ has all of it's 15 odd programs rated in the top 25 programs. Berea College doesn't even make the list[1], that I can find (for math, but I would guess it's true in general).
