math dept?

<p>My son recently visited Skidmore. He did the information session and took the tour. He is interested in majoring in Math (along with a possible double major in music). Can anyone tell me about the math dept at Skidmore? And how generous is Skidmore with merit scholarships?</p>

<p>Great question as S2 loves Skidmore and would be a math major. I asked several students about the math department but didn't get a great answer. Skidmore is a great college so I expect the math department to also be great. If anyone knows, I would love to hear.</p>

<p>I think Skidmore would be a great option if your son is intersted in music. They offer a full ride scholarships to talented musicians (one scholarship for each instument in an orchestra I believe!). Also, I am alum and found the college very condusive to pursing a double major. I am not sure how the math department is compared to other universities. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Inside the math department is a 3/2 engineering option with Dartmouth and Clarkson. Does anyone know if this is a real program or just on paper? Three years without any hands-on engineering is along time to hold one's breath.</p>
