2023 Best Value Mechanical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Florida
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Mechanical Engineering Doctor's Degree School for You
With 2,254 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, mechanical engineering is the #20 most popular major in Florida.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right 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 Mechanical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Florida to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 9 schools in Florida to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for ME students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
