Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in New York ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in New York to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for engineering students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

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.
