Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Electronics Engineering Technology Associate Degree School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, electronics engineering technology was ranked #132 in the country. In fact 8,592 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Electronics Engineering Associate Degree Schools in the Plains States Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 16 schools in the Plains States Region to see which associate degree programs offered the best value experiences for EE tech students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
