school selection help

<p>can you guys rank schools based on these 3 majors and minors:
-economics
-math
-computer science
ive searched google but havent found anything good. thanks in advance</p>

<p>You could look at department rankings by US News, the NRC, or others and try to identify schools strong in all 3 fields. For most liberal arts and science fields (including Math and Econ), these rankings focus on graduate programs. Chances are, a university with a strong graduate department will be good for undergraduates too (although quality may be affected by class sizes or admission selectivity).</p>

<p>MIT, Princeton, Berkeley and Stanford get high ratings in all 3. Harvard, Yale and Chicago get high ratings in Econ and Math, and somewhat lower (but still pretty good) in CS. These are all very selective schools. They also are all very expensive (except Berkeley, if you are a California resident). Do you have the stats to be competitive for these schools? Can your family afford the ~$55K/year they cost? If not, can you qualify for need-based aid?</p>

<p>Virtually all 4-year colleges and universities offer majors in all 3 fields. It’s safe to assume the quality of these programs is more or less commensurate with the overall quality of the school for undergraduates. So shop for a school based on overall reputation and personal “fit” (cost, size, location, atmosphere, etc.) Small liberal arts colleges may be worth considering for overall quality, although they won’t have as many advanced course offerings as larger schools.</p>
