<p>Hello everyone.</p>
<p>I am looking for midsize to large schools with reputable engineering/computer science programs and also have some respected Liberal Arts. I am looking to major in computer science while also pursuing classes such as language and economics.</p>
<p>I am looking for highly-ranked colleges, a rough outline would be +30 on US News ranking</p>
<p>Case Western? Rose Hulman - I don’t know its US News Ranking, but it’s always #1 or tied for #1 for Engineering schools that don’t offer PhDs.</p>
<p>Many state flagship universities and medium/large private universities fit the description of what you are looking for in that they have good engineering and CS as well as good liberal arts of various types.</p>
<p>However, engineering degree programs often have a lot of major requirements, which may limit the number of out-of-major courses you can take (though if all of your other areas of interest count as humanities or social studies, they can at least be taken within the breadth requirements). CS degree programs in engineering divisions often have similarly large numbers of required courses for the major, but CS degree programs in arts and science divisions may have somewhat fewer.</p>
<p>I think all of the top 30 colleges would meet this description!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Even if their engineering and CS departments are nonexistent or limited?</p>
<p>Rose Hulman doesn’t have languages or econ. [Rose-Hulman</a> Institute of Technology - Academic Departments and Support Services](<a href=“404 | Rose-Hulman”>Academics | Rose-Hulman) I second the flagship U recommendation.</p>
<p>UCB, Uwash, U Wis, U Michigan, Cornell</p>
<p>Quick update to post by Erin’s Dad. Rose-Hulman offers a bachelor’s degree in Economics and offers three languages as minors: German, Japanese and Spanish. We also offer a Technical Translator Certificate program in German. If you want any further info, let me know.</p>
<p>In response to ucbalumnus -
Most if not all of the top 30 schools have computer science since it is a science, even if they have no engineering program. So those schools would meet the requirements of the OP.
Personally, I think a CS major is better off at a school that does have engineering to get some exposure to other closely related fields such as ECE, robotics, BME etc. So small to mid-sized universities such as Case Western, U. Rochester, CMU, Tufts etc. would fit the OP well. Since he said medium to large schools, there are a lot of school to choose from.</p>

<p>Not all of what are often seen as the “top 30” schools have strong CS departments. Emory appears to be very limited. Georgetown appears to have a very specialized emphasis (information warfare, data mining, security).</p>
<p>What about Harvey Mudd? Excellent engineering, computer science, and sciences, with four top notch liberal arts schools, as part of the Claremont consortium.</p>
<p>Tufts does not have a great engineering program, FYI.</p>
<p>^ Apparently you know more than the engineering accrediting body:</p>
<p>[Accredited</a> Programs details](<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=129]Accredited”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=129)</p>
<p>Many/most state flagships will have good engineering and good liberal arts because having such programs is kind of why they exist.</p>
<p>Look up the U.S. News Rankings on Engineering programs for undergraduate schools if you want to see the current rankings.</p>
<p>Just go down the list and find ones you are interested in attending that are in your range.</p>
