Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering Technologies School for You
With 1,194 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, engineering technologies is the #16 most popular major in Missouri.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right 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 Engineering Technologies Schools in Missouri ranking. This report analyzed 6 schools in Missouri 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.
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.
