Is it true that it takes five years to complete a baccalaureate degree in Engineering at Dartmouth, not the usual four years?

Dartmouth grants the Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree to students at the completion of their undergraduate course. With an additional 9-10 engineering courses beyond the A.B., students can earn a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree, a professional degree accredited by ABET Inc, the recognized accreditor for engineering. Some students earn a combined A.B./B.E. in four years; others stay on for a fifth year to complete the B.E. For more information on the Bachelor of Engineering program, visit the Thayer School of Engineering web site.
