<p>does yale offer civil engineering?</p>
<p>they do… but just because they’re yale doesn’t mean they are the best place for engineering. I think UC Berkeley or Stanford are better.</p>
<p>Lots of students study engineering in college but end up doing investment banking then Yale may have an edge.</p>
<p>Never heard of Yale having CE. They might have it, but even if they do, it’s evidently such an unrecognized program that it isn’t really worth it.</p>
<p>Honestly, go for a different school if you want civil engineering. As the above poster mentioned, Berkeley and Stanford are both good, and consider MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology , and University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign.</p>
<p>If you really must be at an ivy league school, go for Cornell.</p>
<p>it doesnt have a specific engineering school</p>
<p>It’s easy to Google up a page about Yale’s engineering program, which does NOT list civil engineering as an ABET-accredited major program at Yale.</p>
<p>Take a look at Yale Engineering’s homepage. It does NOT have civil engineering listed.</p>
<p>Look at Swat, Lafayette, Lehigh, Trinity as well…know they have engineering.</p>
<p>You might as well go to Illinois, they have one of the best CE programs in the country and its probably cheaper then Yale and if you can get into Yale you might get into Illinois on their honors program.</p>
<p>Why would you go to Yale for engineering…</p>
<p>Well, Yale has an overall oustanding undergraduate school, giving students a well rounded education. People like this undergrad experience, and many don’t necessarily take a career in their undergrad major field. Students may choose to do engineering at Yale because they want to go to Yale and engineering interests them in college. These students will go into finance or other fields, usually not engineering for the most part. If you want to be a practicing engineer, you should probably pick a better engineering school than Yale. BUT, if you want a great education and not necessarily a CAREER in engineering, go ahead and do it at Yale.</p>
<p>Plus a large proportion of those who start out in engineering end up majoring in something else. Makes sense to choose colleges that offer the program you think you want (i.e. do not go somewhere that does not have engineering at all), but does not make much sense to define your college choices by hair splitting differences in perceived quality of a particular major. For all you know, you may be out of engineering after the first semester, many people are.</p>
