LAC with good economics program

<p>I am an international student and willing to major in economics.</p>

<p>I made some lists for colleges to apply</p>

<p>Grinnell Macalester Skidmore Franklin&Marshall Trinity Dickinson</p>

<p>Whitman Rhodes Austin Centre Wooster ( Elon Denison Ursinus for options to switch out)</p>

<p>Can you guys help me out to take one off from the first list?
and to choose five colleges from the second list included the options?</p>

<p>I like outdoor activities (like sports) and am looking for strong economics program.
Also employment of graduates is one of the important factor for me to think about.</p>

<p>Help me out please.</p>

<p>Stronger economics programs tend to be more mathematically oriented, though that is mostly a consideration for those intending to continue to PhD study in economics. If that is a concern, check the course catalogs to see if the intermediate microeconomics and econometrics courses list as prerequisites math courses more advanced than frosh calculus. Of course, good math and statistics departments are also useful for this purpose.</p>
