Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Engineering-Related Technologies Schools in the Great Lakes Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 8 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for engineering-related tech students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
