<p>Don't know about 'top ten' but the undergraduate History Department at Washington and Lee University belongs near the top of any serious list.</p>
<p>for lacs, wesleyan and williams would be near the top.</p>
<p>Rutgers and College of William and Mary have strong History programs.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tips!</p>

<p>UVA, UT, Vanderbilt, etc. didn't make the cut for me.</p>
<p>My list is in no particular order.</p>
<p>Emory + Caltech + NU but not Wisconsin? Certainly no ranking in the field has ever shown that.</p>
<p>Then take out UCLA?</p>
<p>any particular area of history? some schools have outstanding programs in certain areas</p>
<p>Caltech, Emory, MIT don't make anyone's top 10</p>
<p>The guy asked for top 10 besides the Ivy League.</p>
<p>So that's what I named.</p>
<p>I certainly wouldn't go to MIT. Or Caltech.</p>
<p>Williams and Amherst</p>
<p>I tihnk besides Ivy League might also include schools similar to Ivy League in terms of getting in...which would include MIT, Ctech, Duke, Amherst, or Williams</p>
<p>just my guess</p>
<p>Caltech . . . I think you would need to investigate their history offerings considerably before choosing it. MIT has full cross enrollment privelages at Harvard (and perhaps Wellesley), so that is probably less of an issue, although you may want to look at the program there as well. For undergraduates, I would highly suspect these two are not among the top, top programs for history, but each might (especially MIT) have enough for you, perhaps. Keep in mind the culture and the common core of sciences.</p>
<p>College of William and Mary (only for Colonial History, not that strong otherwise)

<p>Interesting article on what is called the "select 25" institutions for history.</p>
<p>Berkeley at #1. ROFL! Numerically anyway, proportionally it's terrible.</p>
<p>If you look at table 2, Wesleyan is at the top not UCB.</p>
<p>8% isn't terrible, but it's certainly not 16%. UC Berkeley is right below Harvard, Brown, Georgetown, Yale, and Rice, decent company, but of course I would love it to be higher than 8%. <em>shrug</em></p>
