Programs like Brown-RISD Dual Degree or CMU B.X.A.

If my kid's dream is a program like this, where they can study both art/design and engineering at a high level, what are other schools to look at? Matches and safeties would be particularly helpful, since those two are obviously super reachy.

I just Googled "art and engineering" and on page 1 got MIT, Michigan, Yale, Northwestern and Cal. It would appear to be a fairly common field of study.

I googled the same thing, and got links to those schools but they weren't links to dual degree programs.

GWU/Corcoran?

Cooper Union?

Lehigh has a integrated degree with engineering and arts/science schools.

I know two people who were Engineering - Art dual degrees at Michigan & Dartmouth. Both took five years to complete.

Right. Because those are so much easier to get into than CMU. 🙄

RIT had both strong engineering and art, although I don't know what integrated options there are.

Huh? Who said anything the the ease of admission?

Welllll, OP literally said “Matches and safeties would be particularly helpful, since those two are obviously super reachy.”


So OP said something about it. Chiming in with Yale and Northwestern is not helpful

Thank you thread police.

For a safety option--If it's more CS style engineering and the art has a game design/simulation design is the area of interest, GMU has a good program where you can either go for the BS in CS with some art/design or a BFA in Game Design with some CS. Also in general GMU welcomes non-majors in the art/design courses and has varied entrepreneurial supports for engineers and artists to work together on projects.

Univ of Michigan. Top engineering + top art/design school (Stamps). Be aware that it will definitely take 5 years for the dual degree.

CMU BXA takes 4 years.

Both art and engineering are so time intensive I have trouble seeing how this would work in practice. I’d advise getting an engineering degree with some art electives and then a MFA.
