2023 Best Value Construction Engineering Schools in the Southwest Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Construction Engineering Technology School for You
Construction Engineering Technology is the #149 most popular major in the country with 4,330 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 Construction Engineering Schools in the Southwest Region ranking. This report analyzed 14 schools in the Southwest Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for construction engineering tech students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
