>Still not doing a 3/2 program
Damn guys, you do know that your liberal arts degree would make you well rounded and sophisticated, and your Engineering degree would make you employable in a high paying STEM job, right?
Not only that, but you'd be able to get in as a legacy to an Ivy League or Magnolia Conference school easily enough.
A few minutes of research actually indicates that this is a pretty good option. Nobody on /biz/ will take it seriously though.

That's half of why I post about it. The irony is delicious.

I don't fully comprehend but okay.

2 posts and he still didn't explain why it's called 3/2.

I don't know what a 3/2 program is.
I minored in a foreign language, read a lot, and research philosophy and history in my own time, so I'm not really concerned about seeming uneducated.

It's an all-inclusive ticket to class transition, which is what /biz/ wants but rarely can articulate.

A 3/2 program is a course of study where you work for three years at a top liberal arts school, then go to a top college (Columbia or Vanderbilt, for instance) and complete an engineering degree of your choosing as an undergrad. It's a backdoor into becoming a legacy at an Ivy League or equivalent school.

There's a difference between self guided study and accelerated immersion in a curated curriculum under the guidance of a professor anon.

Why should I care though?
I don't want to throw away my money on a liberal arts education. I've taught myself plenty about philosophy, history, literature, and language for free. I'm also not at a technical school so I have gen ed courses anyway.

The sort of colleges we're talking about have a lot of scholarship money. Also, the idea that a more well rounded education isn't an asset is laughable.
>>1582829
I rounded my own education.

Okay then pal.

If you don't see the value of the investment, and don't have scholarships, I guess it wouldn't be worth it to you.
