Computer Engineering Technology is about average in terms of popularity for bachelor's degrees programs. That is, it ranks #166 out of the 363 majors across the country that we analyze each year. As such, the degree program isn't offered at every college in the United States, but there are schools that do have a program in the field that are top-notch when it comes to quality.
College Factual reviewed 2 schools in the Southwest Region to determine which ones were the best for bachelor's degree seekers in the field of computer engineering technology. Combined, these schools handed out 124 bachelor's degrees in computer engineering technology to qualified students.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to computer engineering technology students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - How many other computer engineering technology students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How easy is it for computer engineering technology to pay back their student loans after receiving their bachelor's degree.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized computer engineering technology related body.
