Liberal Arts Colleges with Engineering Programs

[xiggi]

<p>

But if you want a LAC with engineering, Swarthmore is one of the few top LACs that offers it. And Smith if you are a girl. Rice is not a LAC but is LAC-like in many ways. Ditto Dartmouth and Brown. Harvey Mudd is a tech school but has a LAC-like feel, especially since it shares a campus with the Claremont consortium of LACs.

</p>

<p>Interesting! Is MIT a tech school that has a “university” feel? </p>

<p>HMC or Mudd is not a LAC because it happens to share a campus with four LACs. It is not lumped with the LACs because of association or closeness, but because it IS a Liberal Arts College. Mudd offers nine math, science, and engineering-based majors, all grounded in a solid core curriculum that includes a healthy dose of humanities and social science courses. </p>

<p>It also happens that Mudd offers the best undergraduate education in engineering, as the programs the school offer are not mere afterthoughts. </p>

Our name is Mudd, and we’re proud of it. We’re one of the premier math, science and engineering colleges in the nation. We’re also unique because we are a liberal arts college. Aren’t math, science and engineering mutually exclusive of the liberal arts? Maybe at some places, but not at HMC.</p>

<p>We educate engineers, scientists and mathematicians who become leaders in their fields and have a clear understanding of the impact their work has on society. That’s the big picture.</p>

<p>Now here’s how we make it work. Mudd offers nine math, science, and engineering-based majors, all grounded in a solid core curriculum that includes a healthy dose of humanities and social science courses. Why? Because we know that you don’t have to sacrifice your interest in music or art (or anything else) to be good scientists. And because an understanding of history and politics will make us more effective engineers, chemists, lawyers, doctors and human beings. Add to that all of the hands-on experience we get through our high-level research projects and through our world-renowned Clinic Program, and we fearless Mudders go into the world ready for anything.
