[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For engineering programs, ask ANY college about their 4yr graduation rate *with an engineering degree* of students who started in engineering.

Really top programs (like MIT) and some mid-tier programs have a 90+% graduation rate with an engineering degree.

Some other programs have a lower graduation rate. VT is roughly 70-75% (calculated by dividing the graduating class size by number of students entering engineering 4 yrs earlier).

ABET seems to say the national average 4yr graduation rate with an engineering degree is around 2/3 - or 67%.

[/quote]Source for MIT's engineering-specific 4-year grad rate? Overall it's more like 83% (US News/MIT CDS), 6-year mid-90s—better than most publics, but expected from a tiny elite private that cherry-picks the brightest kids. National engineering 4-year average is 33% (ASEE data). Hopefully you don't work with numbers, because inflating MIT to 90%+ while lowballing the national average is some sloppy math.
