What's on this page: * Our Methodology
Your choice of engineering technologies for getting your master's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality engineering tech program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:
The overall quality of a master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we include a school's overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking which itself looks at a collection of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for engineering technologies students working on their master's degree.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Engineering Technologies Master's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
