College Search & Selection

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>What are some LACs with Strong Econ departments. Unfortunately LACs like Amherst and William are out my league so I am looking for schools paralel with (in terms of admission difficulty) Vassar, Wes, Carleton etc.</p>

<p>Also any recommendations about sociology, poli science and international relations will be also appreciated :)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Rhodes is strong in several social sciences - econ, poli sci, IR, anthro/soc, psych.</p>

<p>Many many LACs will be strong in these areas. What else are you looking for in a school?</p>
