<p>Talk about “disingenuous”! Both Harvard and Yale have precious few undergrad engineering majors at the moment, since all must earn an A.B. or B.A. degree, as you well know. For almost no one at Harvard (or Yale, for that matter) is undergrad engineering a terminal degree.</p>
<p>The School of Engineering at Harvard is, however, near the top, academically, with more talented students than Princeton (as measured by GRE score), a lower acceptance rate, greater faculty membership in the National Academy of Engineering, and higher research expenditures per faculty member - all despite being half the size.</p>
<p>Even with the broader curriculum feasible with its larger size, the Princeton School of Engineering ranks barely above Harvard - 2 slots higher - in the USNews rankings, and, as I have pointed out, far lower in the international rankings.</p>
