Rating 4.25 out of 5 8 reviews
The Environmental Engineering department at Mines is incredible. The faculty are absolutely amazing and their teaching style allows students to get hands-on experience in the field. In the classroom, there are also great visual aids to help students understand the content. Office hours are also available for all classes, allowing students to get additional help whenever they need it. While I can't speak for every program at the school, I can confidently say that the Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Program is great.
Overall, the Colorado School of Mines provides great opportunities for students to learn, including countless research programs, summer jobs, and faculty who are always willing to take time outside of class to help you succeed. While the courses may be difficult, you can find lots of help from students and faculty alike. There are also many other resources and two career fairs every year to help you find jobs/internships. Outside the classroom, there are also so many chances for you to get involved in clubs and/or participate in sports where you can meet great people.
Expectations are high at Mines and professors were largely very supportive and responsive to questions and concerns. Several of the courses taught by PhD candidates were poorly taught with instructors who would look down their noses at students (I had two separate instructors basically call the entire class stupid). However, one of the PhD candidates was great.
