2023 Best Value Engineering Technologies Bachelor's Degree Schools in Texas
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering Technologies Bachelor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, 4,414 degrees and certificates were awarded to engineering technologies students who went to a Texas college or university. This makes it the #16 most popular major in the state.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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 Engineering Technologies Bachelor's Degree Schools in Texas to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 8 schools in Texas to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for engineering tech 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.
