2023 Best Value Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Southeast 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.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best 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 Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 63 schools in the Southeast Region 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.
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.
