<p>Thank you for the replies. I was concerned about the state budget cuts, and the ME degree at Mines as well. My son wants to study ME or Engineering Physics. The Engineering Physics dept gave him a favorable impression when he visited Mines.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the Engineering Physics degree isn’t accredited at Rose, although the dept chair says it will be in a couple years. Still a bit worrisome.</p>
<p>My son wants to go out of state as well. He wants to live where it snows. (A few snowflakes are a big deal here.) He didn’t attend Catapult, but did like the campus when we visited.</p>
