2023 Best Value Engineering Graduate Certificate Schools in the Southeast Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Engineering Graduate Certificate School for You
With 61,791 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, engineering is the #4 most popular major in the United States.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Engineering Graduate Certificate Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in the Southeast Region to see which graduate certificate 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.
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.
