Haha, they actually do have decent aerospace and mining engineering programs. Their CS program leaves a little to be desired though.

One of their two intro programming classes uses C++.

Can you elaborate? I feel like depending on who you asked, that could be a point for or a point against.

They actually don't have an aerospace program. You're right about their mining engineering program. CS has been getting better over the last several years. It's definitely grown. I do agree it leaves something to be desired, but to be fair, plenty of graduates go on to work jobs at prestigious employers because they went for it on their own and picked up a lot along the way. They didn't just learn what was taught in school.
