Liberal Arts + Engineering?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>So i think i might be interested (but not 100% sure) in an engineering degree, thinking prolly ChemE at this point. However, i really like the smaller, LAC school feel, i really liked Holy Cross for instance but they don't have engineering and i dont think i can afford a 3-2 program. My stats and list of schools is below just to provide a basic outline. But yeah are there any others i should be looking at, preferably in the northeast (willing to look down to around maryland maybe?)</p>

<p>Rank is like top 12% of out 400ish with a very positive trend and a bunch of AP's and stuff.
SAT - M-750 CR-740 W-720 (2200)</p>

<p>Lehigh
Lafayette
Trinity (CT)
Tufts (monumental reach)
Villanova
Bucknell
Rochester
Boston University</p>

<p>Any others i should be looking at/ are any of these unrealistic?</p>

<p>List looks good, if you liked Holy Cross, then Lafayette, and Bucknell would be potential fits, Nova and Lehigh as well.</p>

<p>just be warned that most people that plan on going through with the 3-2 engineering program don’t usually end up going through with that plan</p>

<p>I like your list also. Best of luck!</p>

5

<p>Good list. Maybe Cooper Union? It’s free if you get in (and very selective) but it may be worth a look.</p>

6

<p>Put Washington and Lee on your list for sure. It’s an LAC that offers the major in-house, and a very prestigious school if I may add.</p>

<p>I am in the same boat. I am majoring in electrical engineering, but I prefer a smaller school. Technically, the only LACs to which I am applying are Lafayette College and Union College. Both schools have GREAT engineering programs. In addition, I am applying to Clarkson (tech school with a small school feel), RPI, Binghamton, Villanova, and Northeastern.</p>

<p>What about Harvard Mudd? VERY small school. Very science-engineery.</p>

<p>you mean Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>Union Colleg</p>

<p>^ Too funny! NOT a freudian slip, I assure you. </p>

<p>I mean Harvey Mudd, thank you!</p>
