There’s been a great deal of discussion on the topic of reputation/prestige for universities in general, but I wanted to get the community’s opinion on what universities are specifically noted for their excellence in the Humanities (and in a broader sense the more classically studied social sciences, namely political science, history, and economic theory).

I suspect the list would be similar to the common 15 most prestigious schools list, but I would be really interested in the specifics of that order from a Humanities point of view. Undergraduate and graduate schools considered, with slight emphasis on the former.

I would imagine the Ivies would all rank strongly, along with U of Chicago, and the old Jesuits (Georgetown, Boston College, Notre Dame). Curious to see who else people include.

Feel free to make a list and/or talk about specific universities and comparisons.
