Bachelors of Arts Engineering With Anthropology Minor
120 +/- Credits
 
The Bachelor of Arts in Engineering degree is intended to provide an engineering background for students who desire more educational breadth in the liberal arts than is possible with the various engineering B.S. degrees. Students graduating with this degree might pursue more advanced studies in engineering, or they might go on to advanced studies in fields such as business, law, environmental science, medicine, etc. The degree is not ABET-accredited and is not intended to produce students prepared to work as practicing engineers immediately upon graduation.
 
Engineering B.A. students may declare a primary concentration of study in engineering. The primary concentration may be within one of the following five areas of engineering: biomedical, civil, electrical, environmental, or mechanical systems. Alternatively, students may develop their own tailored primary concentration in consultation with their advisor(s). A minor in Anthropology is included in this degree Drawing on the interdisciplinary four-field tradition, which includes archaeological, biological, cultural and linguistic anthropology, we emphasize strong training in contemporary anthropological theory, research methods, and ethical practices, with the goal of preparing students to think critically and act as engaged citizens for the common good. Together as students and faculty, our scholarly community mobilizes anthropological knowledge to address questions of culture and its role in a diverse and changing world. In addition to the general anthropology major, we offer a concentration in the anthropology of global health.Engineering B.A. students complete a specified set of course work in mathematics, sciences and engineering, as well as the B.A. distribution requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences.
