<p>Denison has a wonderful economics department, indeed it is perhaps their strongest department. My son is an econ major there, so private message me if you want to know anything else about it.</p>
<p>From what I've seen, I would say Hamilton is the strongest, at least, in terms of job and MBA school placement, followed by Trinity, Union, F&M, Skidmore. I don't know anything about Pitzer, Denison, Rhodes. For the PhD route, doing well at any of them would probably be seen as roughly equal to slighly in the same order as above.</p>
