2023 Best Value Electrical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Massachusetts
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Electrical Engineering Doctor's Degree School for You
With 1,254 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, electrical engineering is the #33 most popular major in Massachusetts.
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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Electrical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Massachusetts ranking. This report analyzed 7 schools in Massachusetts to see which ones offered the best value doctor'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.
