2023 Best Value Engineering Master's Degree Schools in Wisconsin
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering Master's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, engineering students earned 3,396 degrees and certificates from a Wisconsin school, making the subject the 6th in the state.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Engineering Master's Degree Schools in Wisconsin ranking. This report analyzed 6 schools in Wisconsin to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for engineering 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.
