The online university rankings were derived from a nationwide survey of 57 regionally accredited engineering schools or allied technology career discipline schools offering a total of 213 online engineering masters or allied graduate degrees.
According to the online education survey, the cost range for a distance engineering masters or masters in an allied technology career area spanned from just over $5,000 to more than $91,000.
The average cost, inclusive of distance learning fees, which often represented a significant portion of total online learning program costs, was $26,400.
The top 3 Best Buys in online engineering masters came from traditional public research universities which also operate residential graduate schools. State residents, in all 3 of the top ranked cases, receive the best tuition deals on distance learning engineering degrees.
