Electrical Engineering is the #31 most popular major in the country with N/A bachelor's degrees awarded in 2021-2022.
This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Electrical Engineering ranking looked at 280 colleges that offer a bachelor's in ee. Note that the phrase 'best value' does not mean the absolute lowest-priced. For this ranking, we are identifying those ee schools that provide their students with a hiqh quality education at a price that is lower than other colleges and universities of the same caliber.
Average cost figures start with estimating tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses. We then subtract the average amount of financial aid that a student receives. You can use this as a gauge to estimate how much you may need to pay out of pocket to cover costs when financial aid isn't enough. Keep in mind that the net cost for you may be higher or lower, depending on your income and other factors.
The ee school you choose to invest your time and money in matters. To help you make the decision that is right for you, we've developed a number of major-specific rankings, including this list of the Best Value EE Schools.
To further help you make the college decision, we've developed a unique tool called College Combat that allows you to compare schools based on the factors that matter the most to you. Go ahead and give it a try, or bookmark the link so you can check it out later.
