<p>Econ at Middlebury is somewhat unique in that its faculty members play major roles in some interdisciplinary programs, which is not so common for economics depts elsewhere. There are 2 environmental economists and others who contribute to international studies and international politics and economics. At the same time, as mathematics is becoming more important to the field in general, it is also more present in Midd’s econ dept, too.</p>
<p>It is the largest major on campus and so in some ways it might be harder to get a facutly member’s attention (compared to other depts), yet the faculty is very committed to its students and goes the extra yard for them routinely. It is one of the top LAC econ depts in the country.</p>
