<p>posting stats is nice, but there is a vital bit of info missing from what you post. What percentage of those entering college with a major in engineering or CS graduate with that major?</p>
<p>Nationally, between 1/2 and 2/3 of all those who start at most schools end up switching majors. The graduation rate from the info above is the graduation rate of students enrolled at the U, not whether those who started in engineering or CS finished their degree.</p>
<p>Good point, mikemac.
I think there is a very high percentage of students graduating FROM ENGINEERING at the top schools but the grad percent from eng falls off dramatically as selectivity decreases.</p>
<p>The overall graduation rate gives you some idea what the graduation rate from engineering might be.</p>
<p>At top schools, where the overall grad rate is say 92%, the grad rate from engineering might be only a couple of percent lower than the overall grad rate, say 90%. But, at a school with an overall graduation rate of 60%, the graduation rate from engineering might be 40%.</p>
<p>One thing to remember is that different engineering departments will have different percentages of women. At MIT, for example, materials engineering is 70% women, but computer science & engineering is only 24% (to take the two extremes).</p>
<p>Also, MIT undergrad engineering is 38.4% women, not 35%, as of this year. Sorry for being nitpicky, I am cribbing from the registrar's website and figured I might as well correct that statistic. The whole undergrad population is 45% women.</p>
<p>But in these stats he doesn't say the percentage of women engineers/CS majors (which would be useful for women looking at engineering programs), it's the percentage of the women taking classes somewhere on campus.</p>
<p>Smith. 100% graduation rate. 100% women. All graduates with 3.5 GPAs guaranteed admission to engineering graduate schools at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Tufts, Notre Dame, and University of Michigan.</p>
<p>UCDAlum82 it would be very helpful if we could see the % of women majoring in engineering. Bucknell proudly claims that they have one of the highest % of women majoring in engineering at 27%!</p>
<p>As far as I can find out (and it's very hard to find these statistics) the % of women majoring in engineering is between 10 and 20%. Pitt claims that one half of their women who major in engineering choose biomed or chem E as their majors.</p>

<p>If that's what the stat is, then the MIT stat is waaaay off (45%, which has been about the %age of undergrad women at MIT for years, vs 35%), and it makes me trust these stats less.</p>

<p>Uh, 100% graduation rate? According to the Department of Education, via the National Center for Educational Statistics, Smith College has only an 86% 6-year graduation rate.</p>

Twenty-nine percent of the undergraduates at McCormick are female, well above the national average of 20 percent. And the students stay to graduate: The class of 2001 had a retention rate of close to 95 percent for female engineers.</p>
<p>Career Day has been held at Northwestern annually since 1970, when only 4 percent of the students in the McCormick School were women. Today, nearly one-third of McCormick students are women, putting it at the head of the Big Ten’s engineering schools and among the nation’s leaders in the percentage of women it enrolls. McCormick also has one of the highest percentages of women faculty members among major engineering schools.
<p>"Uh, 100% graduation rate? According to the Department of Education, via the National Center for Educational Statistics, Smith College has only an 86% 6-year graduation rate."</p>
<p>The engineering program has a 100% graduation rate (or did in their last round of graduates).</p>
<p>(But even the general number is misleading, so make sure you know what you are quoting:</p>
<p>"Graduation rates measure the percentage of entering students who complete their program in a certain time. We report an overall graduation rate that counts students as graduates if this is their first time in college, they study full time, and they complete their program within 150% of its normal time. For a four-year degree program, entering students who complete within six years are counted as graduates."</p>
<p>For more than 10% of Smith students - who are called Ada Comstock scholars - this is NOT their first time in college. They are older students - ages 26 to 70. There are engineers among them.)</p>

<p>May I have the data that shows this? Specifically, I would like to see data that shows that every single student that entered as an engineer in the particular round in question actually did graduate with an engineering degree.</p>

<p>Uh, you never mentioned anything about any "Ada Comstock" Scholars in your previous post. You just made a blanket statement regarding all Smith students. Don't move the goalposts.</p>
