2023 Best Value Computer Engineering Schools in Massachusetts
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Computer Engineering School for You
In 2020-2021, 1,392 degrees and certificates were awarded to computer engineering students who went to a Massachusetts college or university. This makes it the #28 most popular major in the state.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Computer Engineering Schools in Massachusetts to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 10 schools in Massachusetts to see which 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.
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.
