<p>Duke
Washington U. (St. Louis)
Johns Hopkins
Rice
Vanderbilt
Emory
Georgetown
U. Virginia
U. North Carolina
Wake Forest
William & Mary
Tulane</p>
<p>Davidson

<p>So cool! I haven't even really thought of my schools actually having to have a strong dpt for my major (Still a junior) But all of them are on this list! I'm thinking of a double major english and history. Do Davidson, Vandy, USouth, and WLU have good English departments as well?</p>
<p>I heard that one of Harvard's main strengths is the history department. Is that true?</p>
<p>Sure, but the same could be said about many deparments (government, English, ect).</p>
<p>hillbille-One of Davidson's main strengths is its English program. Among other things the English department offers the Patricia Cornwell Scholarships ($20,000 a year), a large endowment, and a summer program at Cambridge.</p>
