[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're a terrible idea.  They're disruptive to your college social life, require that you pay for an extra year, reduce your opportunities to participate on engineering teams or do on campus research, make it harder to apply to engineering co-ops or internships, and result in a choppy curriculum that likely has gaps.

If you end up at a LAC and then change your mind and decide to be an engineer, fine.  They're probably no worse of a plan than transferring.  But no one should choose such a program at the outset.[/quote]

I'd argue if you switch your mind to Engineering, unless it's during freshman year (and who at a LA college really does that), pick a major such as Math, data science, physics (or pick a major and strong minor) and get your undergrad degree.  Then do your masters in engineering.  It's still 5 years, but you have two degrees, and a solid consistent, non-disruptive undergrad experience.

However, I seriously doubt there are many kids who pick a LAC and then decide engineering.  If it was at all on the radar, they would be at a university where it was a real option to begin with[/quote]
