The B.A. degree provides a flexible and interdisciplinary engineering experience for students who wish to broaden their learning horizons across disciplines in Trinity’s liberal arts curriculum. The B.A. is different from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)-accredited B.S. degree.
It requires integrating engineering studies with significant study in such cognate areas as economics, international studies, environmental science, neuroscience, or public policy and law. Consequently, the B.A. provides a strong background for students who wish to pursue careers in public service, management, or entrepreneurship, for example. Its mission is to educate students to develop and convey solutions to multi-dimensional problems that require scientific, technological, global, and social perspectives.
