Didn't Dartmouth just build a new engineering building?

I agree the 5-year program sounds very appealing but no direct knowledge of it. I only know of an acquaintance's kid who applied to the engineering program but was unfortunately rejected.

I think this approach makes a lot of sense

It is also why they are able to offer the 2-1-1-1 program for students from top SLACs. Anyone know a student who did this ? My DC is considering it from Bowdoin

I find this very appealing. Anyone with first hand experience ? TIA!


This is actually an old model. My grandfather did it back in the 1930s at another college.


I like this model. I should have noted that the fifth year is not required. Students can do it in four but it seems like many prefer the five year option
