<p>If you are academically qualified, Columbia SEAS students are required to take the same rigorous “Core Curriculum” as Columbia College students. That might not suit you, if you are looking for a broader range of electives. One quirky option is the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara. They have no official Engineering major, although UCSB has an Engineering school; they have Math, Physics, Chemistry/Biochemistry and Computer Science, along with Art, Literature, and Music. It is a laboratory for creative, collaborative work within a public university.</p>
