Computer Engineering Technology is about average in terms of popularity for bachelor's degrees programs. That is, it ranks #166 out of the 363 majors across the country that we analyze each year. As such, the degree program isn't offered at every college in the United States, but there are schools that do have a program in the field that are top-notch when it comes to quality.
College Factual reviewed 2 schools in the Far Western US Region to determine which ones were the best for bachelor's degree seekers in the field of computer engineering technology. When you put them all together, these colleges and universities awarded 97 bachelor's degrees in computer engineering technology during the 2020-2021 academic year.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
Major Focus - How much a school focuses on computer engineering technology students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - The number of computer engineering technology students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
Student Debt - How much debt computer engineering technology students go into to obtain their bachelor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized computer engineering technology related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for computer engineering technology students working on their bachelor's degree.
