The economics department is extremely popular. As far as professors go, i have never heard a complaint about ANY of the economics professors. As for math and philosophy, one of my good friends is a philosophy major, and absolutely loves the economics classes. I think there is probably a good balance - check out the course descriptions on the kenyon website for more information.

it is definitely possible to double major. You MUST declare one major by the end of your sophmore year, but you can declare your second major later. You must have an advisor for both majors, and in some cases you must talk to the Dean of Academics. There is also the option of the synoptic major in which a student writes a proposal outlining the courses they will take in a specialized major they think up with their advisors. Usually it combines two or more majors. Some famous ones have been “Coffee- neurologically and economically”, and “Classical foundations in Western Thought.” The kenyon websites have more information if you need it.
