Looking for an online masters degree in engineering from a U.S. graduate school (online) at an affordable price?

Consider GetEducated's online university affordability rankings - Top Ranked Best Buys in Online Masters Degrees in Engineering ~ all under $21,000.

These online degree rankings were calculated by comparing tuition and distance education fees (total college costs) at 46 regionally accredited and regional candidate universities in the U.S that offer 216 distance masters in engineering major areas. These online university rankings spotlight the most affordable (least expensive) online degree among online university programs. Colleges do not pay to be included in these rankings. 

To appear on GetEducated’s Best Buy college rankings the masters degree programs profiled must objectively cost less than the average cost of all the distance degrees surveyed in the comprehensive data set. The average cost for this data set was: $23,203

Affordability rankings are based on a Spring 2008 survey of regionally accredited and regional candidate master's degrees in engineering. Costs were valid at the time of collection (Spring 2008).

Note: These online degree rankings are based on GetEducated's Spring 2008 survey of regionally accredited and regional candidate master's degrees in engineering. Tuition and fees stated were valid at the time of collection (Spring 2008).  Profiles for each distance degree in our online college directory may reflect slightly different costs based on a different update schedule.


The published cost is an estimated sticker price for the entire distance masters degree and typically reflects the least expensive or  most affordable online degree option.  Actual costs will vary by student. Factors such as transfer credits at entrance, prerequisite requirements specific to each degree, and financial aid availability will affect your final purchase price.

Colleges do not pay to be included in GetEducated.com’s online university rankings.  These rankings are editorially independent, open to any regionally accredited and regional candidate university which offers a degree that is offered at least 80% at a distance and open to the public.  There is no cost to be included in GetEducated’s online university ranking surveys or to use GetEducated.com’s seals should your distance degree appear on these rankings.

If your online university is regionally accredited and not currently reviewed or ranked by GetEducated please contact us for inclusion. Each specific affordability ranking list is calculated every two years. The next online masters in engineering rankings will be undertaken Spring 2010.
