2023 Best Value Engineering Schools in Utah
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Engineering School for You
Engineering is one of the most popular subjects to study in Utah. With 2,169 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 7th out of all the majors we track in the state.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 Schools in Utah ranking. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Utah to see which 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.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
