Some CWRU economics professors have political science background. My son is getting an economics minor, and was able to work with a political scientist/economist on evaluating crime data versus legalized marijuana stats and won $3000 grant for undergraduate research at CWRU for the summer. The social sciences are well represented in summer research programs at CWRU. The economics, political science and other humanities are strong. Even SAGES writing classes are strong, and students have gone to Africa associated with their SAGES projects. SAGES allows students who are undeclared to have an advisor who helps them. Professor Mariana Carrera has both economics and political science training: (although the econ department is located in the business college).
