<p>Does anyone have an idea of what the freshman engineering retention rate is at PSU? What percentage of engineering students don't make it to the beginning of their sophomore year? Any help or insight would be appreciated.</p>
<p>PSU says 80% engineering retention but not specified from which year. </p>
<p>It’s important to note that PSU does not allow you to officially declare major until you are a junior even though you are in the process of the degree. Maybe this is why it’s 80%</p>
<p>^^^
Excellent point sax. Maybe the 80% refers to junior and senior engineering students and not freshman. I wrote (email) the engineering program to ask for the actual percentage and will post what I find out.</p>
<p>The exception is Architectural Engineering - in which you declare your major as a sophomore. But it is also a 5 year degree.</p>
<p>I wrote PSU to get some numbers. I’ll post when (if) I hear back.</p>
