2023 Best Value Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Florida
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering Doctor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, engineering students earned 9,040 degrees and certificates from a Florida school, making the subject the 7th in the state.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Florida to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 7 schools in Florida to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for engineering 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. 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.
