[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Did some research on the topic. Students can do either:

Off-campus major with a Harvey Mudd minor

Double major in Mudd + off-campus major

However, regardless of whom the student is, they have to complete Mudd's 2 year STEM core which involves one course in bio, one in comp sci, one in engineering, three semesters of math, two and a half semesters of physics + lab, one and a half semesters of chem + lab, and a designated stem lab course. It's a very regimented STEM education no matter who you are.[/quote]

OP, those STEM core courses sounds like foundational engineering courses at any engineering college.  My D is first year Oberlin, following Columbia engineering foundational courses, in case she might like to transfer.  If you compare Harvey core requirements with Columbia engineering foundational requirements, they may be similar.  If so, my D's first 2 years at Oberlin will be very similar with Harvey's core.  If you are concerned about the possibility of a washout, my D says, after nearly a year at Oberlin, it's doable.  Oberlin courses are guaranteed transfers to Columbia if she maintains >3.33 GPA, so these courses are at Columbia level.

Harvey Mudd is hard-core engineering.  Your kid is probably stronger than my D in math/science.  Hard to imagine Harvey accepts a student who couldn't complete its program.  [/quote]
