HA LAC's - Areas of specialization?

Hamilton: writing, math, geoscience, history.

Many of your schools, maybe too many: economics. I’d say a point in favor of Wesleyan and a couple others is that econ is not the most popular major.

As stated by @whenhen‌ , all of these colleges strive to be good across-the-board, so be careful not to rule any out too quickly because of what may be perceived as weakness in a given department. The department may be less well known, but still very strong.
