Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Aeronautical Engineering Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. This report analyzed 20 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value 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. 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.
