2022 Best Value Doctor’s Degree Colleges for Agricultural Engineering
When it comes to choosing a college, students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our “Best Value AE Schools for a Doctorate” ranking - to help you make that decision.
In 2019-2020, 1,564 people earned their degree in agricultural engineering, making the major the 330th most popular in the United States.
At the doctor’s degree level specifically, there were 136 agricultural engineering graduates with average earnings and debt of $72,680 and $116,043 respectively.
This year’s “Best Value AE Schools for a Doctorate” ranking looked at 24 colleges that offer degrees in a bachelor’s in agricultural engineering. This ranking identifies schools with high-quality agricultural engineering programs that also have a lower cost than schools of similar quality.
Some of the factors we look at when determining these rankings are overall quality of the agricultural engineering program at the school and the cost of the school after aid is awarded among other things. For more information, check out our ranking methodology.
