Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Grad Degree Search has created the Best Value Engineering-Related Fields Schools in Indiana to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 6 schools in Indiana to see which ones offered the best value programs for engineering-related fields 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.
