That's one option. Or math/science/engineering. Or just engineering disciplines.

Freshman year: Liberal arts stuff out of the way -- Composition, grammar, American History, art (music, painting, theater, etc.). Foundation classes for math, physics, computer science, chemistry.

Sophomore year: No electives. All engineering courses and math.

Junior year: No electives. Second-tier engineering courses, physics. Depending on discipline, additional chemistry, comp sci, aeronatics, material sciences.

Senior year: Advanced-tier studies in engineering speciality; electives sufficient to earn minor.

C average minimum for all classes. B average required for all engineering classes beyond sophomore year.

No booze on campus. Dorms only. Dorms close at 10:30 weeknights, midnight on weekends. No mixed-sex dorms. No fraternities, sororities, athletics, student theatricals, Model UN, or any of that claptrap.

You come to this school to study, not to socialize or party. There are hundreds of other institutions that will take your money and feed you mai-tai's till you puke. This is an instituion of learning, not a bacchanal. If you're not grown up enough to have that idiocy out of your system, you don't belong here.

Not going to happen. Kids go to school to party. You need to find the right mix. Fraternities are actually good because they have a higher GPA standard than campus and you can easily threaten them to pulling their charter.

Engineering is a VERY expensive curriculum to fund. You mostly end up with non-English speaking professors.
