You’ll join some of the best and brightest minds around if you attend Carnegie Mellon University. The school came in at #1 for the Most Well Attended Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering Major in Pennsylvania for a Doctorate. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the setting for this fairly large institution of higher learning. The private not-for-profit school handed out doctorate’s mechatronics, robotics, and automation engineering degrees to 21 students in 2020-2021.
The school has an excellent freshman retention rate of 96%, which means students like the school well enough to return for a second year. Since the school has a undergrad student-to-faculty ratio of 5 to 1, those pursuing a degree will have more opportunities to interact with their professors. The low undergrad student loan default rate of 0.7% is a good sign that students have an easier time paying off their loans than they might at other schools. For comparison, the national default rate is 10.1%.
