Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, 1,147 degrees and certificates were awarded to electrical engineering students who went to a Michigan college or university. This makes it the #23 most popular major in the state.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in Michigan ranking. This report analyzed 14 schools in Michigan to see which ones offered the best value bachelor's degree programs for EE 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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
