Are high-ranking Liberal Arts Colleges target schools for investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, etc?

Hi all, I am majoring mathematics in Wesleyan University, and will pursue a Master of Science in Quantitative Finance in the future. Do you think small Liberal Arts Colleges like Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams, and Wesleyan can be target schools for financial industries when they are recruiting for summer undergraduate interns?
