By major · Mechanical Engineering

Where can your student actually get into mechanical engineering?

29 colleges in California report a bachelor's program in mechanical engineering, and the numbers behind the same degree are nowhere near each other. Of the 6,148 students who applied to UC Berkeley in mechanical engineering for Fall 2025, 252 were admitted; Cal State LA admitted 1,636 of its 1,762 applicants. A UC decides admission at the campus level, so its major figures show who applied and how many of them were admitted rather than a separate door into mechanical engineering, while each CSU reports an admit rate for the program itself: 13.3% at Cal Poly SLO and 41.1% at San Diego State. Every number below is the college system's own reporting, assembled in one place.

At a glance · All states

389 colleges nationwide offer a bachelor's mechanical engineering program: 379 awarded the degree in 2022-23 (federal IPEDS completions); 1 more report a mechanical engineering admit rate in the UC/CSU data; 9 more carry program earnings in federal outcome data but no 2022-23 degree count under these program codes.
Largest programs by graduates in 2022-23: Purdue University-Main Campus (478), Texas A & M University-College Station (469), Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus (437).
30 of them are in California, the one state whose public systems (the University of California and the CSU) publish an admit rate into the major.
Hardest reported gate into the program (only the UC and the CSU publish one): University of California-Berkeley — Mechanical Engineering, Fall 2025: 6,148 applied, 252 admitted (4%).
Highest reported admit rate into the program: University of California-Merced — 97% (2,311 applied, 2,240 admitted, Fall 2025).
Highest median earnings four years after the degree: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, $131,967.
Lowest average net price with aid: CUNY City College, $3,776 per year.

No mechanical engineering program in this California data reports a transfer path only, so a student applying out of high school is applying to the program itself at the CSU campuses and to the campus at the UCs. Where a college below shows no first-year row, it is because that college does not report admissions by major, not because the major is closed. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · California only (30 colleges, with the UC and CSU gates) →

Every college, one row each

Colleges with a reported gate into the program come first, hardest first; the rest are sorted by earnings, then by graduates. Degree awarded is the program the college conferred bachelor's degrees in during 2022-23, with the number of graduates (federal IPEDS completions). 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); IPEDS Completions ↗ (bachelor's degrees conferred by 6-digit program, 2022-23, first major); 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/mechanical-engineering, then open each college profile it links to. Build a reach / match / likely list for a mechanical 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

A list for this major should reach across the whole range reported here, from the 252 of 6,148 applicants admitted at UC Berkeley to the 97% admitted at UC Merced, so the plan does not rest on one campus saying yes. Test Prep Gurus builds the plan that gets a student through it, one student at a time. prepgurus.com · 949.229.5359
