Strongest Departments

<p>After noticing a similiar thread in the Dartmouth College forum, I’m curious: What are the strongest departments at Boston College?</p>

<p>im curious as well</p>

<p>Accounting, Finance, and Economics are a few of BC's strongest departments. </p>

<p>Boston College's Economics Department was ranked #24 in the US by the Journal of the European Economics Association. Link:

<p>Cool. I've heard that the Carroll School of Management is the hardest school to get into. But I don't know if this means that it has the strongest departments at BC. I'd imagine that all of the departments are pretty good.</p>

<p>RideBoarder02: Thanks for the information.</p>

<p>By the way, does anyone know how strong Boston College's Political Science Department is?</p>

<p>No problem Claridge. Although I don't know how strong BC's political science program is, it is the 7th most popular program at BC (see "By the Numbers" link below)</p>

<p>Here is the 2004 annual review that includes some interesting info:

<p>I didn't know it was the hardest. Wow.</p>

<p>Poli Sci is regarded among the students as one of the best departments here.</p>
