Finding the Best Engineering Technologies Undergraduate Certificate School for You

In 2021-2022, engineering technologies students earned 1,288 degrees and certificates from a Minnesota school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which trade school program is right for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses.

The Best Value Engineering Technologies Undergraduate Certificate Schools in Minnesota ranking is one of many tools that Trade College Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Minnesota to see which undergraduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for engineering 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.
