2023 Best Value Ocean Engineering Schools in the Southeast Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Ocean Engineering School for You
Ocean Engineering is the #306 most popular major in the country with 285 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Ocean Engineering Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. This report analyzed 7 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for OE students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
