Flickr / CampusGrottoHarvey Mudd College is the No. 1 liberal arts college in the US.

Despite being considered "soft" majors, liberal arts students can still become just as successful as their math and science counterparts.

We pulled the top liberal arts schools from our seventh annual list of the best colleges in America, where we asked over 1,000 Business Insider readers to choose the colleges that best prepare their students for success after graduation.

We then combined those results with each school's average SAT score from the college-data website College Board and the median starting salary from the employer-information website PayScale to come up with the final ranking. You can read the full methodology here. Read on to see which schools are giving liberal arts a great name. Find out how your salary stacks up on PayScale.
