2023 Best Value Mathematics & Computer Science Schools in the New England Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Mathematics & Computer Science School for You
Mathematics & Computer Science is the #223 most popular major in the country with 1,302 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Mathematics & Computer Science Schools in the New England Region ranking. This report analyzed 5 schools in the New England Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for math and compsci students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
