Finding the Best Information Technology School for You

In 2020-2021, information technology students earned 944 degrees and certificates from a Georgia school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for computer science students. Along with traditional schools that require in-person attendence, you can attend one of many reputable online schools. Some programs even offer a hybrid experience. Alternatively, you may choose a trade school that prepares you to enter the workforce with knowledge in a specific field.

The Best Value Information Technology Schools in Georgia ranking is one of many tools that Computer Science Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 21 schools in Georgia to see which programs offered the best value experiences for IT students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.

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