They seem to have an interesting program in which students stay for a 5th year in order to complete the ABET certified engineering degree.
This allows students to take other courses they are interested in and receive a more well rounded liberal arts education I find this very appealing. Anyone with first hand experience ? TIA! |

This is actually an old model. My grandfather did it back in the 1930s at another college. |

I like this model. I should have noted that the fifth year is not required. Students can do it in four but it seems like many prefer the five year option |

It is also why they are able to offer the 2-1-1-1 program for students from top SLACs. Anyone know a student who did this ? My DC is considering it from Bowdoin

Didn't Dartmouth just build a new engineering building?
I agree the 5-year program sounds very appealing but no direct knowledge of it. I only know of an acquaintance's kid who applied to the engineering program but was unfortunately rejected. |
