<p>Looking for advice on the engineering program at Dartmouth. I'm planning on studying environmental engineering, and am deciding between Dartmouth, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, and Duke. I'm leaning towards Dartmouth just based on the overall quality of the school, but I know that some of the other schools are more known for engineering.</p>
<p>How does a degree in engineering from Dartmouth compare to places like Cornell or Johns Hopkins? In terms of jobs after graduation, etc.....</p>
<p>Any other advice on engineering (specifically environmental) at any of these schools would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>I don’t know much about engineering at the other schools you mentioned, but Dartmouth does have a pretty cool program that lets you stay for a year to a year and a half longer at the school to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Environmental engineering is one of the types offered:</p>
<p>[Bachelor</a> of Engineering (B.E.) | Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth](<a href=“http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/academics/undergraduate/be/]Bachelor”>Dartmouth Engineering | BE)</p>
<p>…However, i have heard that Cornell has excellent engineering…</p>
<p>My college roommate did the five year program and loved it. He is now in biomedical engineering, but the beauty of that program is that once you get a year or two in, if you find that your desires have changed then you still have a Dartmouth degree in your back pocket. Thayer is a great school, hard to go wrong with it.</p>
<p>The Dartmouth engineering program doesn’t hold a candle to the program at Cornell (many of their programs rank in the top 10 in the country). Cornell has many, many different fields - you probably don’t even know what half of them are. Go to Cornell and find out about ALL of them - you might find another field you enjoy more. Even though a large school, professors are amazing and very approachable. People in the offices are amazingly helpful. It definitely has a “small school” approach, even though it’s ranked #15 in the world.</p>
<p>Plus, the elective options at Cornell are amazing for engineers - everything from nutrition to city planning to wine tasting. About 4,000 classes are offered at a time.</p>
