Tufts. I have an engineering degree, but took a few required courses. I really liked a poetry class, and my prof pointed out that I got a very classical education and could see the influences. They forced me to take a history course (had to take social science, not just humanities) and I LOVED it. I had some great profs - foreign language, literature, and history were all awesome. I really enjoyed it and learned a ton - I thought I was doing it to get through requirements!

Tufts does have a big focus on integrating the engineering college with the liberal arts college. So there's no "math for engineers" v. "math for liberal artists." Likewise, we did have distribution requirements in liberal arts and they really encourage you to explore. We also have two free electives, that we were strongly encouraged to use in a frivolous manner.
