<p>I am having a hard time finding liberal arts colleges that offer engineering. We know of Swarthmore. Any other suggestions? Or, suggestions of schools where there is flexibility between the school of engineering and the school of arts and science? We know of Wash U and Harvey Mudd. Thank you!</p>
<p>Bucknell has engineering too.</p>
<p>At Michigan you can get an Engineering major and an “area of concentration” or minor in a Liberal Arts field. I don’t believe you can do it the other way around though.</p>
<p>Another option is those 3-2/4-2 programs where a student attends an LA school for three years and then an engineering one for two.</p>
<p>Clarkson. Maybe Princeton, Union, Vandebilt, WUSTL, Rice, Notre Dame, Duke, Cooper Union?</p>
<p>Sometimes, doing a search of the forums first yields great results… =/</p>
<p>Lehigh, Lafayette, Smith (for women only 
)</p>
<p>Brown!!! :)</p>
<p>Note that any ABET-accredited engineering program – even at a liberal arts college – is quite demanding in terms of math, science, and engineering coursework. It is much more specialized than the other majors typically offered by LACs.</p>
<p>So while there are some traditional liberal arts colleges that do offer ABET engineering programs (e.g. Swarthmore, Smith, Trinity), an engineering major won’t necessarily get a traditional liberal arts education there. The fact is that it is difficult to combine the breadth associated with a traditional liberal arts degree with the depth needed for a professional engineering degree, within the normal 4 years of undergraduate study. LACs typically acknowledge this by giving the engineers a different degree than their other students: the engineers get a BS, while all of the other undergraduates get a BA. </p>
<p>Dartmouth does combine liberal arts breadth with engineering depth, but this is done by putting engineering on a 5-year plan. You can graduate in 4 years with a liberal arts BA in engineering sciences, but this is an unaccredited, nonprofessional degree. An accredited, professional bachelor’s degree in engineering typically requires a fifth year of specialized study. </p>
<p>The 3/2 programs offered by many LACs in association with larger universities (most often Columbia) are also 5-year plans.</p>
<p>Coming from VA I would say UVA. They are traditionally more of a liberal art school but actually have impressive rankings for engineering.</p>
