Colorado School Of Mines, Golden Ranking 2024 from QS, THE & US NEWS

Mines has a lot of job opportunities. We have career fairs in the fall and spring with around 300 companies who offer both full time and internship positions at competitive wages. Average pay is around 60 thousand per year and job placement is in the 90s at Mines. Almost every company that hires Mines alumni are engineering firms. Our career center gives you two years of help finding placement once you're out of school and past that the alumni foundation helps you out!

The campus has many job opportunities. It is preferred to have work-study funding for on-campus jobs but many departments will hire you without funding as well. I worked in admissions, the career center, and the Mines Foundation and all gave me around 10 hours per week and worked around my course schedule. Some jobs require you have a certain GPA but most really only care about your work ethic. Summer internships are very popular as well and most students have internship offers by their sophomore years. I have had two internships and am in my junior year.
