Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Computer & Information Sciences Doctor's Degree School for You
With 254,454 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, computer and information sciences is the #5 most popular major in the United States.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Computer & Information Sciences Doctor's Degree Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 33 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for computer and information sciences students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
