To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Electrical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in Pennsylvania ranking. This report analyzed 6 schools in Pennsylvania to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for EE students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
