<p>What pct of the freshmen engineering students graduate in four yrs at UIUC?</p>
<p>UIUC (including its engineering college) does not publish any four year graduation rate; instead it publishes a six year rate, which for the engineering college is about 70% of freshman who enter as engineering ultimately graduate from engineering within 6 years; another 12% to 13% who entered as freshman graduate from a different UIUC college; and about 18% who entered as freshman in engineering do not graduate from UIUC. Note there are various reasons not to publish four year rates including that they would be misleading because many do not graduate in four years because they do coops (working a couple semesters with engineering companies) or study abroad for a semester. Nevertheless a large percentage of engieering students take more than four years to complete with the average being closer to 4 1/2 years and part of that just has to do with the heavy course requirements.</p>
