sorry, but what did I say was wrong? I was bothered that it would take more than 4 years to get an engineering degree, so that is added cost.

We did tour Darmtmouth and I spoke with the engineering department.

The problem here is that students need to be practical on what to major in and maybe with the economy being so poor, ND is better positioned to have an undergrad business school to fall back on if the student decides not to be pre-med or engineering. I admit Dartmouth is great school, that is not the issue ,but taking out the engineering school, then it is a LAC, and any of these type of degrees mandate going on to grad school, med school or law school.

I am just sensitive that all students now with liberal art degrees are having a hard time finding a good job. A business degree or engineering degree does maybe get you a job in this bad economic environment, and ND is is a better postion to offer that option.
