Participate. Explore. Innovate. Collaborate. Lead. Achieve. What makes the Mines experience special are the unlimited opportunities our students have. At Mines, you can study what interests you and be accepted for who you are and what you are passionate about. You can connect with faculty, fellow students and staff, try something new and continue to prepare for the life you’re meant to lead. Is our curriculum rigorous? Yes. Are we nerdy? Yep, and we embrace it. Not only are our students high-caliber, they are engaged, active and enthusiastic life learners. Embrace your inner nerd. And…we are thrilled to share that the fall 2021 incoming class was not only the largest ever but was also the most academically competitive ever, the most diverse ever and had the highest percentage of women in Mines history! Below are a few highlights about those who made it Mines this past fall.
