Would a design school really be enough education?

I'm assuming that an education from Landing, Westlawn, or YDS, although rewarding, might not be enough of an education to be able to stand aloine. Am I correct in assuming this? I was always under the impression that the aforementioned schools were more suplimantary than anything else, and that an engineering degree would be recomended as well.

At Westlawn, our students’ success speaks for itself. Take a look at their comments at:

You can also see the latest list of Westlawn success stories at:

And you can view a large assortment of photos of Westlawn alumni designs at:

This photo gallery—big as it is—is only the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands and thousands more.

The Westlawn quarterly newsletter, The Masthead, has a regular feature on Westlawn alumni currently working in the boating industry.

The education these schools offer is pretty comprehensive. Many of the people who take them already have degrees, but many don't. I didn't. I eventually finished up a BS, but long after I took the Westlawn Course. Also some of these schools offer a degree course by partnering with colleges. Check out all the options first.
