Cornell Engineering and Liberal Arts

[oldfort]

I wouldn’t say Penn and Cornell’s engineering are the same. Cornell is ranked #10 and Penn is #26.

According to Cornell’s engineering requirements, they have Liberal Studies Distribution in their core requirements:

Liberal Studies Distribution:

Global and diverse societies require that engineers have an awareness of historical patterns, an appreciation for different cultures, professional ethics, the ability to work in multifaceted groups, and superior communications skills. Cornell has a rich curriculum in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, enabling every engineering student to obtain a truly liberal education. At least six courses (totaling at least 18 credits) are required
