In addition to an Econ major, Colgate also has a Mathematical Economics major. I think it was called econometrics but isn’t listed that way on the website anymore. I also think Colgate has an extremely strong alumni network and Econ is their top major so don’t think that the location is a hinderance in terms of internships and jobs!

Have you visited either one? While there may be some similarities in the academics, the vibe, size, and setting couldn’t be more different. There is a difference in the feeling at a D3 NESCAC school and a school with D1 athletics. It’s not just “quirky” or a pretty campus - it’s 3,000 students vs 10,000, a few minutes by train to a major city or an hour to an airport that still won’t get you anywhere. You also need to think about what you want from your college experience. BTW we visited both and D20 was just accepted ED to Colgate and plans to study Econ, too.
