<p>Somewhat tangential, but one of the reasons I chose Mudd over UCs was because Mudd won’t force me to choose a specific discipline of engineering to major in. I still don’t know if I’m more interested in mechanical engineering or chemical engineering or civil engineering, but here I don’t have to choose one - I just get a general engineering degree. So in that sense, Mudd is less specialized than a lot of other schools.</p>
