<p>How would you compare Bates v. Middlebury for economics?</p>

<p>the Bates economics program is said to be the 2nd best liberal arts program only to Swarthmore. If you are going for economics, go to Bates. Though some of midd’s programs are better than Bates, the econ department is not.</p>

<p>thanks. any other sources of info on relative strength of economics programs at Midd & Bates?</p>

<p>I’ve heard good things about both schools so far.</p>

<p>Middlebury is better than Bates if your major is environmental studies or foreign languages. But Bates’ reputation for economics supercedes that of Middlebury. Go to Bates ;)</p>
