A liberal arts school with a good engineering program?

You could also be on the ground floor of the program at the University of Chicago, which sounds really interesting if they are getting the faculty.

<p>I wouldn’t be too concerned about their getting the faculty. They already have a founding director from UC Berkeley. They will take 5-10 years to spin up to the target number of 24 faculty members, but already have 4 named professorships. They are constructing a new 265K ft2 building ([Construction</a> of William Eckhardt Research Center | The University of Chicago](<a href=“http://facilities.uchicago.edu/construction/meb.shtml]Construction”>William Eckhardt Research Center | The University of Chicago Facilities Services)). Meanwhile they already have top-notch math, physics, and chemistry departments.</p>

<p>If your priority is a broad liberal arts education (not a well-established engineering program), you can’t do much better than Chicago.</p>
