Colorado School Of Mines: U.S. National Association Of Colleges And Employers

Geological Engineering Dept: In fact, students at the Colorado School of Mines are some of the most employable in the U.S. 94 per cent of 2011 graduates from the mining engineering, metallurgy and materials, geological engineering, and geophysics programs have jobs, according to Globe and Mail. In Canada, admissions to the top mining schools have nearly tripled in three years, helped by salaries that can be even higher for graduates who move abroad and with graduation still a month away, pretty much everyone is sitting on an offer or two, said Mr. Howard of his classmates, adding that some students were juggling four or five offers. The average starting offer across the four departments was $65,868 a year, well above the $42,569 median that the U.S. National Association of Colleges and Employers expects first-time job seekers with college degrees to command in 2012.
