Engineering is also the least flexible degree. You only get 2 or 3 electives throughout your 4 years. Your path is pretty much set and so its easy for the Engineering faculty to set the courses. So long as you don't fail a course, its a slam dunk to finish in 4 years.
The arts and social sciences are a different story though. There's so many different paths you can take, and the U of C hasn't done an adequate job of making some paths possible in 4 years. They've gone so far as to recognize their failure wit this new program.

Fair enough and in many cases, like yours, I believe what you are saying. I am also saying there are other reasons. Arts and social sciences are such vague programs that is hard to stay on top of things like that. The U of C has excellent Engineering and Business programs that are highly recognized and unfortunately, for people like yourself, that means more money and emphasis on those two programs and less for others. I imagine they realize that their other programs aren't graded high on a nationall level and to that would cost billions. They would rather put the money where the recognition is.
