Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Trade College Search has created the Best Value Construction Engineering Undergraduate Certificate Schools in Texas to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 4 schools in Texas to see which ones offered the best value undergraduate certificate programs for construction engineering tech students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
