Finding the Best Construction Engineering Technology Associate Degree School for You

In 2020-2021, 4,330 people earned a degree or certificate in construction engineering technology, making the major the #149 most popular in the United States.

With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Construction Engineering Associate Degree Schools to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 32 schools in the United States to see which associate degree programs offered the best value experiences for construction engineering tech students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
