Engineering Graduate school without BS in Engineering?

<p>It isn't unheard of for a Physics or Chemistry major to enroll in graduate school for engineering, but what about a humanities major?</p>

<p>I've looked over some requirements for grad school admissions, and most only say "Bachelors degree required" and not "Bachelors in Science".</p>

<p>At the school I will attend next fall, a humanities degree gives a lot of flexibility in terms of elective hours, where an engineering degree gives very little flexibility. I like engineering, but I don't see myself getting a 4 year degree and going straight to the work force. I know people who do this and those jobs just aren't for me. I'm interested more in the theoretical, research side, which is why I would consider this path in the first place.</p>

<p>My plans are to attend a professional grad school, be it medical or pharmacy or law, where the specific bachelors earned doesn't matter as long as GPA/Test scores, pre-reqs are met.</p>

<p>So my question is, if I minor in engineering, take multiple high level physics and chemistry courses (and do well in them), and professional grad school doesn't work out for any reason, would graduate engineering be possible at all? I've heard of MIT doing this, but I realize that this is an infinitely small sample size, and if I could attain the stats/ECs that an MIT admitee would have, I'd have no problem getting in to a pharmacy/med/law school.</p>

<p>I believe Boston University has this program called “LEAP” specifically for non-engineering majors.</p>

<p>[Boston</a> University College of Engineering Special Programs Late Entry Accelerated Program](<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/eng/academics/special-programs/leap/]Boston”>Late Entry Accelerated Program (LEAP) | College of Engineering)</p>

<p>I can’t say that it is impossible to make that work, but I can say that you would be seriously disadvantaging yourself by doing it.</p>
