Economics at Middlebury

<p>Are there any economics majors at Middlebury that could give me some insight as to the nature of major there? How are job prospects coming out of Middlebury with econ? Is it popular to double major in econ and math? How are the professors? </p>

<p>I just want a better idea of what's at Middlebury in economics since it will almost definitely be my future major. Thanks.</p>

<p>Economics is one of the most popular majors at Middlebury. The program is extremely strong. You might find these articles to be of interest:</p>

<p>Kid that showed S around campus etc last spring was an econ major. He L-O-V-E-D his professors, admitted he had worked very hard, but could find nothing bad to say about even the intro classes (beyond being a tad tedious). In fact, son was not an econ major but between this guy and two others he spoke to at length, the one thing he came away with is that MOST of the professors at Midd are very very well liked… even those that tend to kick your butt when it comes to grades.</p>

<p>Econ at Middlebury is somewhat unique in that its faculty members play major roles in some interdisciplinary programs, which is not so common for economics depts elsewhere. There are 2 environmental economists and others who contribute to international studies and international politics and economics. At the same time, as mathematics is becoming more important to the field in general, it is also more present in Midd’s econ dept, too.</p>

<p>It is the largest major on campus and so in some ways it might be harder to get a facutly member’s attention (compared to other depts), yet the faculty is very committed to its students and goes the extra yard for them routinely. It is one of the top LAC econ depts in the country.</p>

<p>Yay :slight_smile: Took the question out of my mouth</p>
