@merc81 - I used the total visual and performing arts category, so it includes majors that focus on the “study of the arts” as well as the “practice of the arts”. This seemed to be consistent with including all economics majors, and the reporting of subcategories within the arts category did not seem to be consistent.
Schools with a larger mix of the “practice of the arts” are probably going to feel more “artsy” than those with a larger mix of the “study of the arts” and schools with more of a focus on fields such as environmental and energy economics are going to feel more liberal than those with more of a focus on financial markets and banking.
In terms of social justice, the following schools have majors in Peace and Justice Studies (Marlboro does not appear to have majors):
Hampshire
Clark
Tufts
As a measure of social action, I added the rankings for Peace Corp participation. I also added Connecticut College (which started out as Wesleyan’s sister school).
