Civil engineering and D3 soccer?

[Anonymous]

We are doing some college research for older kid, which is making my younger kid ask questions. He’s curious what schools might be a fit.

Any suggestions for an strong student who tests well but isn’t super academically motivated (e.g. not an MIT kid), and wants to study civil engineering and play D3 soccer? We would need either merit or good need based aid.

It doesn't look like they have civil engineering.

I just looked through the Civil Engineering with Men's soccer options on Big Future and they all look to be D1

West Point (DI, but patriot league, so barely)

You might look into Muhlenberg— they have a 3/2 or 4/2 dual engineering degree with Columbia (admission used to be guaranteed if you got into Muhlenberg and maintained a 3.3 GPA, not sure what the deal is now or what the cost is)

If a 3/2 program is a possibility there are probably other combinations of schools you could look at—

OP here,

I don't think he wants 3/2 or 4/2.

I didn't know about Big Future. When I searched there by major and sports division, I see CWRU, CMU (probably out of reach), RPI, WPI.

Lafayette is D1. My impression is that D1 sports aren't realistic with a challenging major.

Swarthmore.
Just to be aware, an engineering program + significant extra curricular like varsity soccer may make it harder to graduate in 4 years.

Swarthmore would bury a not-motivated kid.
