The Best Value Materials Engineering Schools in the Rocky Mountains Region ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 6 schools in the Rocky Mountains Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for materials engineering 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.
