Be careful of the UC schools, though. They may cost you as much as Mines, in the end, if it takes 5 years to get an engineering degree.

It’s true that the 4-year graduation rates can be relatively low at UCs. However, this is true of public universities in general – including Mines.

Graduation rates for entering students in Fall 2009: 4-year and 6-year:

UC Davis: 57%, 85%
UC San Diego: 58%, 87%
Mines: 49%, 77%

These are the most recent numbers in College Navigator (it takes 6 years to determine the 6-year graduation rate, so the numbers always lag)
