Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Engineering Physics Bachelor's Degree School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, engineering physics was ranked #239 in the country. In fact 994 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Engineering Physics Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking. This report analyzed 13 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which ones offered the best value bachelor's degree programs for engineering physics 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.
