2023 Best Value Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the New England Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, electrical engineering was ranked #40 in the country. In fact 28,844 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the New England Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 23 schools in the New England Region to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for EE students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
