Finding the Best Computer Engineering Bachelor's Degree School for You

With 804 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, computer engineering is the #54 most popular major in Pennsylvania.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Computer Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in Pennsylvania to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 10 schools in Pennsylvania to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for CE students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

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.
