Strong Undergraduate Math & Economics Departments

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'd like to know some LACs and universities that have strong math and economics departments... My dream is getting into fin mathematics of Stanford for Master's.. (The best way would be going into Stanford undergraduate, but I don't think I'm good enough for that..)
I can find graduate mathematics university ranking online from US news, but I don't have much information about LACs.
Would anyone please list some of them?? (Both LACs and universities)</p>
