WHO ROCKS at Sociology and Economics?!!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am looking to double major in Sociology and Economics to get a fairly liberal artish undergrad and eventually move on into Investment Banking (business) upon graduation. What are some of the top schools in these fields. Currently I am considering Duke, USC, Georgetown, University of Wisconsin, and UPenn. Can anyone comment on this choice of double major? Thanks a ton!</p>

<p>I think it is a good combination but a little incongruous with investment banking. Sociologists tend to have a social conscience and care about the disenfranchised members of society. Bankers don't. They are motivated by enlightened greed. </p>

<p>Duke, Penn, and Wisconsin are strong in both areas. USC is pretty strong in econ but not soc. Georgetown is a great school but I don't think it is known for these two areas.</p>

<p>You should consider Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern, Cornell, NYU.</p>

<p>If you go to Georgetown you would probably want to major in business, it is recruited much more for I-Banking.
Why Sociology? Is it just something you like?</p>

<p>Yes C-Revs, the study of people and demographics has always interested me a lot. Is a double major a feasible option? Maybe economics and sociology?</p>

<p>Consider Berkeley. They also have geography here, which might interest you. If I were you, I'd search for lists of best sociology schools, or ask for a list in a new thread, find a few of the econ lists, and see which schools fall onto both.</p>
