To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Trade College Search has created its Best Value Mining & Petroleum Technology Undergraduate Certificate Schools in Texas ranking. Our analysis looked at 2 schools in Texas to see which undergraduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for mining & petroleum tech students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

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. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
