[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a dual degree student at Emory and Georgia Tech. Emory does not have an engineering program so students do their engineering degree through Georgia Tech. It’s a 5, often 6 year program, so if you don’t want to go to two different schools for five or six years, look elsewhere. Also keep in mind that you can apply to Georgia Tech from any other school, not just Emory. There are many other colleges that have dual degree programs with GT, not just Emory.[/quote]

It's basically a 3-2 engineering program. Hundreds of schools offer them. It's not an engineering program at Emory. It's pre-engineering at Emory and then trying to transfer to an engineering program at GA Tech.  Admission to GA Tech's engineering program is not guaranteed.  If this qualifies Emory as "having an engineering program" then hundreds of SLACs also have engineering programs.  Bowdoin, Amherst, Oberline, Reed, Grinnell, Macalester and every other LAC that I can think of offer the same thing.

Emory doesn't have an engineering program. [/quote]
Yeah. Very few schools have much success with 3-2 programs for a variety of reasons that are beyond the scope of this conversation. I wouldn’t recommend them. If an engineering degree is what you’re after but still want a strong liberal arts education, go to a school like Swarthmore, Lafayette, or Harvey Mudd.[/quote]
