<p>Hey guys, I want to study either in applied physics or engineering and I am going to apply to both universities and LACs this year. </p>
<p>But I am not sure which LACs would be good for engineering because most of them do not even have engineering programs. </p>
<p>My SAT scores are
1st R:610 W:680 M:730 =2020
2nd R:630 W:700 M:770 =2100</p>
<p>Please suggest some good LACs for engineering</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd, Swarthmore, and Bucknell come to mind. Would you also consider very small technical institutes?</p>
<p>Many of the elite liberal arts colleges have 3/2 programs with big name schools in engineering. The way it works is that you spend your first three years at the LAC majoring in physics, and your last 2 at the engineering school majoring in engineering. You graduate with both a BS in physics and a BS in engineering, and you have both schools for your resume. </p>
<p>An example of such a program is Pomona College/Cal Tech. Agnes Scott/Georgia Tech. Allegheny College/Columbia U. Brandeis/Columbia. Colby/Dartmouth. Holy Cross/Dartmouth. Ithaca/Cornell. Mt. Holyoke/UMass Amherst. </p>
<p>Ask each LAC you’re looking at if they offer such a program.</p>
<p>
Lafayette and Union also have engineering.</p>
<p>[Lafayette</a> College - Engineering](<a href=“http://www.lafayette.edu/webdata/engineering/index.html]Lafayette”>http://www.lafayette.edu/webdata/engineering/index.html)</p>
<p>[Union</a> College – Engineering Home](<a href=“http://www.union.edu/academic_depts/engineering/index.php]Union”>http://www.union.edu/academic_depts/engineering/index.php)</p>
<p>Rice is a university, not a LAC, but it’s small like a LAC. Also Harvey Mudd which has the Claremont colleges with it.</p>
<p>If you are a woman Smith College has a engineering program.</p>
<p>Trinity College (Hartford) has engineering.</p>
<p>Trinity University (San Antonio) also has a popular engineering major. Trinity is really a LAC with masters programs in some education-related fields and accounting. Total enrollment is 2700. We were there for their open house about a week ago, and their engineering program drew the biggest crowds.</p>
