Science and Engineering Program (SEP) is a division of the Metropolitan College of Boston University. The program has been discontinued by Boston University this year and is not accepting anymore students for the upcoming academic year. However, existing students are part of a two-year program which focus studies on math and science to give the students a stronger background to continue in either the Boston University College of Arts and Sciences or the Boston University College of Engineering. To make room for the extra course load students must complete a summer semester their freshman year. It consists of either a Physics 2 class if the students has taken Calculus 1 and 2 over the academic year or a Physics 1 and 2 sequence with a Calculus 2 semester. The latter is for students who started off with Pre-Calculus in the fall and since Calculus 1 is a pre-requisite for Physics 1, the three classes must be done in the summer. The program offers MET versions of regular class the university offers, the main difference is that the typical class size is less than 20 students per class. The personal attention to the student is a very big factor to students' success in the program; each student has access to all the university's facilities and the very helpful faculty of SEP. Cathy Lysy is the advisor for the entire program. Dr. Carla Romney is the chair of the entire program.

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
