<p>i found that
Dartmouth has Thayer School of Engineering
and for A.B. program, admission is through
Dartmouth college</p>
<p>does that mean a person who wants to attend school of engineering also compete with other who want to go to other school at Dartmouth?</p>
<p>Thayer Engineering is a graduate school only. As an undergrad, you would have the opportunity to take certain classes there, but all undergraduates enroll through Dartmouth College. Dartmouth differs from places such as Cornell or UPenn in that it only has one undergraduate "school," not different ones for different programs. This is why you would get an A.B. no matter what program you did, because you would be doing it through the College. Now, if you were an engineering major you could elect a special five year program where you would do four years at the College and one year at Thayer and would earn a B.S. However, I don't think you even need to apply for this program. You can just choose to do it if you matriculate.</p>
<p>Xanatos is correct, as far as I know...</p>
<p>Two small things:</p>
<p>1, from thayer the five year program is for a BE, not a BS.</p>
<p>2, you <em>DO</em> need to apply for the BE program, however, if you have a BA from Dartmouth and a certain GPA in the major (2.5 i think it is) you are guaranteed admission.</p>
<p>it's slightly different, but essentially the same.</p>
<p>how does the thayer degree compare to the BS from other schools (cornell, Upenn) in terms of engineering skill set, accredidation, and job placement. Is one more recognized than the other by professionals? </p>
<p>I would assume thayer grads would be in high demand by the big name companies as it sounds like you gradulate with an advanced placement/ masters degree. who are some of the big companies that recuit thayer grads?</p>
<p>do any students study eng through the college, graduate with the BA, and then get jobs? or do you need the extra year at thayer before job placement</p>
<p>is thayer known for any particular eng specialty? biomed? chemE? or other?</p>
<p>Although Thayer is technically a graduate school, undergraduates frequent its labs, classrooms, and workshops. The facilities are largely new (just a few years old) and it's a relatively small program. There's an undergraduate engineering fair in a few days. Among those represented are:</p>
