2023 Best Value Engineering Physics Schools in the Southwest Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering Physics School for You
Engineering Physics is the #239 most popular major in the country with 994 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Engineering Physics Schools in the Southwest Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 8 schools in the Southwest Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for engineering physics students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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.
