<p>Hey all, I'm looking for a smaller LAC that has a really good history (preferably an ancient history concentration, but not required) program. </p>
<p>The prestige of the college doesn't really matter to me, I'm simply looking for good history programs. </p>
<p>Also, I'd like schools that have little to no Greek life. I don't know why, it's just a personal request.</p>
<p>Thank you much :]</p>
<p>....Anybody? Please?</p>
<p>every good school has a good history department. hope that helps!</p>
<p>By no means an exhaustive list, but I'd start with:Wesleyan, Carleton, and Reed</p>
<p>All of these schools send on a lot of students to PhD programs in various fields, and I seem to remember seeing a chart that listed Wesleyan towards the top for sending students on to PhDs in history (indication that the department is doing something right!)</p>
<p>Carleton seems to offer a lot of cool history/English disciplinary programs.</p>
<p>Reed is pretty steeped in classics, so I imagine somebody who liked ancient history would fit right in academically.</p>
<p>All of these schools are very different from each other in terms of the types of students they attract, so they are worth more research on your part.</p>
<p>I'll see if I can go find some more data that may help you.</p>
<p>REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY</p>
<p>If you look at the history PhD list, other schools that might interest you include Swarthmore, Oberlin, Grinnell, and Pomona.</p>
<p>Definitely check out Oberlin. Within the history major it's possible to concentrate on ancient history; they also have a Classical Civilization major and an Archaeological Studies major with a concentration in classical archaeology, if either of those appeal to you. And there are no frats or sororities :)</p>
<p>Thanks all. :]. </p>
<p>Are there any other schools that I should check out in general with good history departments, even without it being an LAC?</p>
