@Much2learn I am just trying to figure out how an Engineering student can minor in Cognitive and Brain Sciences without taking summer courses. It seems virtually impossible coming from the school of Engineering.
Tufts markets its Engineering school as differentiated because it exists in a “LAC-like” setting. If 2-3 breadth requirements are the extent of this, I think it is misleading. Most top CS programs are not ABET accredited by default, and allow for depth of study in CS as well as a minor or double major in another field. It just does not seem possible at Tufts without a large number of overlapping requirements.
I do have to say, however, that the CS major requirements in A&S are rather weak. Probably because of the significant foundation and distribution requirements.
