Computer Science and Engineering major
Planning major
Applied International Studies minor
Mathematics minor
“Technical courses train me to formalize problems, specify constraints, and optimize under resource limits. Humanities, arts, and social science courses force me to interrogate assumptions embedded in those models.”
Sofia Lara
Biological Engineering major
Spanish minor
“Engineering gives me the tools to measure the world; the humanities teach me how to interpret it. That balance has shaped both how I do science and why I do it.”
Lauren Higgins
Political Science major
Urban Planning major
“Political science and urban planning are both interdisciplinary to their cores, and my coursework has consisted of a mix of law, statistics, economics, sociology, history, philosophy, and social psychology. Such a breadth of understanding has helped me think more profoundly about the social issues facing us today, and the steps we can take to start solving them.”
