<p>What is its reputation at Dartmouth? I am thinking about majoring in environmental engineering along with economics.</p>
<p>Ill anser your question with another question: can you even get into dartmouth?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uncalled for?</p>
<p>

<p>I didn’t know ANY school had a reputation for environmental engineering. But maybe that’s just me.</p>
<p>All Dartmouth engineering degrees are fine, but they differ in some respects from “typical” engineering degrees from large universities.</p>
<p>Technically, you can’t major in environmental engineering – or any other engineering specialty – at Dartmouth. There is only one engineering department, and it is only accredited (by ABET) to offer one type of degree, in “general engineering”. There is no separately-accredited “environmental engineering” degree program, as there would be at larger schools.</p>
<p>If you study EnvE at Dartmouth, you will get a broader and more interdisciplinary education than you would at most universities. It’s probably more common for Dartmouth students to double-major in engineering and other fields, like economics. On the other hand, the course options in EnvE specifically will be relatively limited; you will not get as much specialized training as you would at a large university. </p>
<p>This may or may not be a concern, depending on your future plans. For example, if you plan to seek work as an environmental engineer as soon as you graduate, then you may want to consider a more specialized program. If you are more interested in engineering management, or if you plan to go to graduate school, then the lack of specialization may not be an issue.</p>
