Hello there! I'm looking at colleges in the Maine area and Waterville caught my attention. Can anyone give me some insights into what schools in Waterville might be good for someone interested in Social Sciences?
Waterville, Maine, houses two notable educational institutions: Colby College and Thomas College.
1. Colby College: One of the oldest liberal arts colleges in the country, it offers strong programs across a variety of disciplines, but sociology, anthropology, and government (political science) are particularly strong here. The college offers many opportunities to get involved in social science research. As an example, the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin partnership offers an annual research symposium where students can present their work.
2. Thomas College: This smaller institution has a more career-focused approach and offers programs like Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Political Science. It might be a good fit if you're seeking more applied, practical study in social sciences. As an example, their Criminal Justice program promotes experiential learning with opportunities for internships.
Remember to check out the specifics of the programs that you're interested in. Visiting both universities, if possible, would be beneficial to get a feel of what fits your academic and personal interests best.
