To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Materials Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in the New England Region ranking. This report analyzed 4 schools in the New England Region to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for materials engineering 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.
