By major · Electrical Engineering

Where can your student actually get into electrical engineering?

In California, 24 colleges report an electrical engineering program, and the admit rates at them are nothing alike. UCLA reported 3,053 applicants and 265 admitted students in electrical engineering, a 9% rate, while Sonoma State University reported 94.8%. The UC campuses report that rate by the major a student applied under, but a UC admits a student to the campus rather than to the major, so the major line tells you who applied and who was admitted, not what the major itself decided. Every number below is the college system's own reporting, assembled in one place.

At a glance · All states

271 colleges nationwide report a bachelor's electrical engineering program in federal outcome data or an electrical engineering admit rate in the UC/CSU data.
Hardest reported gate: University of California-Los Angeles — Electrical Engineering, Fall 2025: 3,053 applied, 265 admitted (9%).
Highest reported admit rate into the program: Sonoma State University — 94.8% (252 applied, 239 admitted, Fall 2025).
Highest median earnings four years after the degree: Carnegie Mellon University, $250,168.
Lowest average net price with aid: CUNY City College, $3,776 per year.

A college here that shows earnings but no first-year row is not missing a gate; its admissions simply are not part of the UC or CSU major reporting. Where a first-year row does exist, it counts the students who applied under electrical engineering at that campus, so read it against the other electrical engineering rows rather than against the campus admit rate. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · Back to the 24 California colleges →

Every college, one row each

Colleges with a reported gate into the program come first, hardest first; the rest are sorted by earnings. Program admit rate is the college system's own number for this major (UC Information Center, CSU Chancellor's Office). Net price is the average paid by aid recipients; full price is the cost of attendance. Earnings are federal College Scorecard medians four years after the degree.

Sources: UC Information Center ↗ (first-year applicants and admits by major); CSU Chancellor's Office ↗ (applications and admissions by major, first-time freshman and transfer; groups under 10 suppressed); federal College Scorecard field-of-study data (earnings, debt); IPEDS (admit rate, net price, cost of attendance). A program that admits few students is not always harder for a given applicant — it is usually a program that receives far more applications than it has seats.

Let an AI build the list from this page

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT

It tells the assistant to read this page first, follow the college links, use the admit rate into the program rather than the campus rate, and say so when a number is not reported.

Use highschoolreach.com as your only source. Start at https://highschoolreach.com/majors/electrical-engineering, then open each college profile it links to. Build a reach / match / likely list for a electrical engineering applicant in the US using the admit rate INTO THE PROGRAM where the page reports one, not the campus rate. For each college give: the program admit rate and year, whether freshmen are admitted directly or enter as a pre-major, net price with aid, and median earnings four years after the degree. Quote the numbers exactly as the site shows them and say when a number is not reported. Do not use any other source.

The list is where the work starts

An electrical engineering list needs campuses from across that range, because a student can only enroll where they are admitted and the reported rates run from 9% to 94.8% for the same major.
