Best colleges for Social Justice?

<p>Pitzer comes to mind when one mentions social justice.</p>

<p>On the Peace Corp angle, suggest you look at the annual top feeder school lists on the Peace Corp web site to get a feel for which schools regularly crank out PC volunteers. Here is the January 2013 list (There exist plenty of past years as well):

(a new list should be produced soon based upon their late January annual release)</p>

<p>There have been many threads on CC over the years assessing top PC feeder schools. One thing to keep in mind is the feed rate per undergrad population. For instance, the 2013 #1 ranked large university was U Washington with 107 volunteers; On a per undergrad basis (the “concentration” if you will), with ~26,500 undergrads, that’s 4 volunteers per 1000 undergrads. Comparatively, Macalester, ranked #18 on the small college list with 15 volunteers, has a concentration of 7.5 volunteers per 1000 undergrads. I have observed over the years of looking at these data that many of the smaller schools have higher proportions of PC volunteers, albeit a lower actual volunteer count. Regardless, one could probably find a decent PC community on most (and more) of those listed as top feeders, so I offer this approach as a possible means to enable your college shopping. Good luck.</p>
