2023 Best Value Chemical Engineering Schools in the Rocky Mountains Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Chemical Engineering School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, chemical engineering was ranked #76 in the country. In fact 2,662 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Chemical Engineering Schools in the Rocky Mountains Region ranking. This report analyzed 8 schools in the Rocky Mountains Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for chem eng 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.
