The high ranking in engineering reflects the solid academic reputation of Lafayette s program, which has a long history of excellence.

Students enjoy frequent interaction with professors, especially those who are accepted into the McKelvy Scholars program, which allows selected honors students to live in a special living-learning atmosphere. Another course, dubbed Technology Clinic, allows an interdisciplinary group of students to tackle a real-world problem.
