This was an encouraging email response when I woke up at noon this morning.

 

I noticed that the UofM is ABET accredited, but Northwestern is not. Since I am in the Math/Engineering Dual Degree program, will this affect my ability to go into an engineering career or get P.E. Certification?

Thanks, 

David Ingold

David, 
  Good question.  The advantage of the Dual Degree program is that you will get two degrees: one from Northwestern and one from the U of M.  Doing the Dual Degree program through Northwestern can only help your career and future certification because:

   1. Northwestern graduates more Dual Degree Engineers at the U than I believe any other school does in Minnesota. 

   2. The U actually prefers students who go through Dual Degree programs because they are seen as having a better rounded education.

   3. Northwestern students are consistently at the top of their class when transferring to the U. 

   4. Northwestern students are getting excellent research internships before going to the U. 

  If I were a student interested in a Christ-centered education and wanting to do engineering I cannot think of a better choice than Northwestern.
