<p>Apply to UMN and UW for in-state/reciprocity safeties with excellent programs. Minnesota offers a management minor that is popular with engineering students.</p>
<p>The Duluth campus has better outdoor opportunities. It is a good school but with more of a regional/undergrad focus and less high-powered research than the TC campus. If you like MN this would be a good choice.</p>
<p>Maybe check out Michigan Tech and U Wyoming as well.</p>
<p>EDIT: U Utah has very strong academics and excellent outdoor opportunities. It is more of a commuter school but might be worth a look.</p>
