OOS cost unbelievably high

@ManyXsBlessed The reason is that Colorado does not fund our state schools to the level of some other states like Georgia or Indiana. MInes charges $34,020. per year for OOS tuition. For comparison Georgia Tech, a higher ranked school for most majors except maybe geology and petroleum, costs $30,900. per year for OOS tuition. I am sorry to say that as a Coloradoan, but Georgia funds their state engineering college a little bit better than Colorado does right now. But I do think Mines may be better than most flagship schools except the very best ones, for many majors. What are his other choices? Mines is really a top school and a very good size for an engineering college, with outstanding access on light rail to the city of Denver.

U of Michigan charges a WOPPING $48,598 for OOS tuition, for juniors and seniors. Housing and books are on top of that. So Colorado is not alone in raising rates for OOS, or anywhere close to the costs of U of Michigan Engineering. Note U of Michigan has a two tier price tag so freshman and sophmores pay less, but its truely a school for the wealthy today.
