To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Aeronautical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking. This report analyzed 11 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which ones offered the best value bachelor's degree programs for aerospace engineering 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.
