<p>Hey Sam–</p>
<p>Yes, Wesleyan does have a particularly good Econ program–perhaps the best among LACs. The ‘College of Social Studies’ combines econ with history, gov’t, and philosophy. It’s one of Wes’ most highly regarded majors.</p>
<p>As we both know, NU’s econ dept. is stellar–easily one of the best anywhere.</p>
<p>Also, to answer your question, I don’t agree that ‘the difference is insignificant among top schools.’ Econ is just strong at both schools.</p>
