Reviving the thread for yet more engineering/baseball questions...
I'm trying to provide guidance for a player interested in engineering (of which I know far too little). He is a 2017 here in California, not getting D1 interest but will be a solid player at another level. He is getting JC interest.
My question is this... is JC even a feasible option for an engineering major that doesn't want to spend unnecessary years in college?
Saw this and was about to reply with a 4 year school idea, (Colorado School of Mines) but then realized that that's not your question, and that your question has been answered -- yes, it's feasible.
But there's another question that's harder to answer. What are the chances that a student who matriculates at a JC will graduate from a 4 year school in 4 or 5 years? Those are hard numbers to pin down, in my experience. I did find this page: http://www.thebestschools.org/...leges-united-states/
Describing SBCC, which this website ranks as the #2 JC in the country, and which I'm guessing would be on your student's list of JC options, it says:
57% of full-time students at SBCC transfer to four-year colleges; more than half of those ultimately earn a bachelor’s degree. Agreements with 76 colleges (in and out of California) guarantee that SBCC credits are accepted for transfer; several schools ensure admission if a student meets academic requirements.
For me as a parent the takeaway is that a full time student at a highly regarded JC has an approximately 30% of graduating from a 4 year college. Not bad for a JC, but I do not love those odds when compared to graduation rates from UC's or Cal Poly!
Just a thought....
