<p>Sakky,</p>
<p>I think many graduate engineering program don’t require you to have a BS degree in the same field and some don’t even require you to have a degree in engineering (though usually have to be some sort of science at least). I met this girl from Swartmore at Northwestern and what NW asked her to do was to take “prereq” courses and that’s why she was my classmate in few undergraduate courses. Mudd engineering is of course more known than Swarthmore but the idea behind is similar. CalTech knows students from Mudd are talented and very solid in all the basics and foundation (they also have more breath). My guess is the students from Mudd would be required to take certain undergrad courses at CalTech to “get up to speed” with the rest (just as far as prereq goes, not talented level which I am sure they are as good as anybody).</p>
