2023 Best Value Industrial Engineering Schools in the Southeast Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Industrial Engineering School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, industrial engineering was ranked #87 in the country. In fact 9,072 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Industrial Engineering Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 22 schools in the Southeast Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for IE 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. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
