Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to engineering technologies students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - How many other engineering technologies students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How much debt engineering technologies 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 engineering technologies related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for engineering technologies students working on their bachelor's degree.
