The econ department here is probably one of the strongest departments on campus. There’s a lot of focus geared towards econ majors whether it’s through Alumni Relations, the Career Center, or just professors getting recruitment opportunities for the students. That being said, econ is probably one of the hardest departments on campus and one of the most demanding. There’s two tracks within the department (math econ and financial econ) and they’re both really great. I know a lot of my senior friends are heading off to IB or risk management next year and the connections definitely help.

In terms of Colby being an outdoorsy campus, while that is true, there is a lot to do otherwise. There are those who ski every week during the ski season, but there’s also those who maybe ski once or twice for the fun of it. I think you’ll be able to fit in just fine.
