To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Engineering Technologies Schools in the New England Region ranking. This report analyzed 23 schools in the New England Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for 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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
