That means diddly squat. If you want a PhD in oceanography, you head for UCSD or URI. If you want a PhD in religion, you head for Chicago or Emory. The Ivies are most definitely not always the best place to get a PhD.</p>

<p>Pretty much all of the sciences are strong at Wake. I don't know about econ, but Wake has good business and finance programs with math tracks.</p>

<p>I agree with warblers, IL staff doesn't mean anything. WFU's biz program is #17 ranked, I don't know about the sciences</p>

<p>Check out the Physics Dept. Webpage. This department is excellent. Personal attention to undergraduates since it is a small department. VERY enjoyable faculty and great research opportunities for undergrads on faculty projects.</p>

<p>Cannot answer your question, but will share that Wake Forest is an outstanding academic and social institution which has the closeness of a liberal arts school even though it is correctly classified as a national university. WFU can be a good choice for the student who wants the best of a small LAC and the benefits of a mid-sized research university.</p>

<p>Really good sciences, good Econ department, but small and mediocre Math and Compsci.</p>
