Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering Master's Degree School for You
Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering is the #95 most popular major in the country with 8,001 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best 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 help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Aeronautical Engineering Master's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 15 schools in the Southeast Region to see which master's degree programs offered the best value experiences for aerospace engineering students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
