<p>How competitive are the economics and Russian majors? What school in Vanderbilt are they a part of? Can anyone provide any info about what these majors are like at Vanderbilt, the rigor of the classes, etc?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Tough, both.</p>
<p>Both fall into Arts & Sciences</p>
<p>There isn't a ton in the way of Russian language surprisingly, but they have a lot of cultural Russian classes.</p>
<p>Is the College of Arts & Sciences one of the tougher schools to gain admittance to in Vanderbilt?</p>
<p>The College of Arts & Science does have a lower acceptance rate than Peabody and Engineering. Economics is one of the most popular majors at Vanderbilt. S was in a class of approximately 1500. At graduation, I counted around 200 kids receiving degrees with a major in economics.</p>
<p>Probably b/c Owen is an above average graduate school as well...thus one would assume the business majors at Vanderbilt would likewise be good.</p>
<p>jman,
Economics majors at Vanderbilt and elsewhere would be a bit offended to be called business majors. While Vanderbilt does offer some business classes (accounting, managerial studies,etc.), they do not offer an undergraduate business degree.</p>
<p>Great, thanks for the help everyone!</p>
<p>I am future Russian major possibly applying for Vanderbilt as well, I have heard that the admissions rate for arts/sciences is a lot lower than the others schools.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm sure the Arts & Sciences school is pretty tough to get into. We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.</p>
