2023 Best Value Computer Engineering Schools in the New England Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Computer Engineering School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, computer engineering was ranked #56 in the country. In fact 17,987 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Computer Engineering Schools in the New England Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 21 schools in the New England Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for CE 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.
