<p>i'm an international student studying ECE at UIUC.. i'm planning to transfer to dartmouth next year.. does dartmouth have a computer engineering program?</p>
<p>if doesn't, what kind of engineering program does dartmouth have?</p>
<p>i've searched the homepage, it says that there's only one engineering major: engineering sciences. is this true? there isn't any major such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc?</p>
<p>thank you very much.</p>
<p>Hmm, If I’m correct on this, Dartmouth does indeed only have one engineering major. From there you can chose to get your BA in engineering (4 years) or a Bachelors of engineering (5 years). The specializations (computer, mechanical etc…) aren’t split into separate majors, but rather just concentrations, with every engineering student receiving the same degree.</p>
<p>Why you want to transfer from a superior engineering school puzzles me. Your reasons will not be compelling enough!</p>
<p>^^That’s not completely true.</p>
<p>First of all, there’s a BME Major now, so not all engineers receive the same degree (not that that’s relevant…) [Biomedical</a> Engineering Sciences Major](<a href=“http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/undergraduate/ab/biomed-major.html]Biomedical”>http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/undergraduate/ab/biomed-major.html)</p>
<p>Also, modifying the major with COSC is an established path for people with interests in computer engineering.</p>

<p>check it out. </p>
<p>also, you can complete a BE in 4 years, it’s more work for sure but it can be done. The COSC Department is pretty solid, too, though generally thought of more in a theoretical bent, but you might want to check them out too.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
<p>umm… i’m also interested in business… can i do a dual degree in business or maybe just as a minor along with the engineering sciences?
thanks btw</p>
<p>^ No</p>
<p>Yes you could double major in econ and engineering… but man would that be one heck of a schedule…
btw thanks for the elaboration rnl.</p>
<p>how good are thayer school graduates?</p>
<p>do they get good paying jobs?
or do they gain admission to good graduate schools?</p>
<p>There’s no business major at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Thayer students, however, often go on to careers in finance and business. In fact, if I remember correctly, that is the pluralistic path for Thayer grads.</p>
<p>Grads get pretty similar wages to basically every other engg school, but dartmouth grads in general get pretty good paying jobs. I wouldn’t use future job prospects as a reason to rule in favor or against Dartmouth.</p>
<p>basically, you should do some research on your own. poke around the thayer school site.</p>

<p>thanks a lot for the information</p>
<p>Due to the fact that thayer only offers a general engineering program, can thayer grads go straight to grad school to pursue specific engineering major, say chemical engineering or mechanical engineering?</p>
<p>yes of course, and many do.</p>
