1. Information on majors and programs of study is from the Completions Data File, 2011-12 (Provisional release) as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds). Top majors are the ones that have the most conferred degrees. If it says "is in" rather than just "is", then various top majors were combined into a new attribute. For example, colleges whose top major is "in engineering" will include a college whose top major is chemical engineering, another whose top major is electrical engineering, and so on.
   

Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering is in Needham, MA, is private and nonprofit, degree-granting, offers on-campus housing, accepts the Common Application, has its top major in engineering, requires test scores for undergrad admissions, is on the semester system, and enrolls fewer than 1,000 students.
