Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CUNY New York City College of Technology the most affordable option?

The school's $4,783 net cost makes it the cheapest computer engineering technology program in New York, helped by its public status and location in Brooklyn. Students graduate with just $11,320 in debt on average, though the 19.4% graduation rate indicates completion challenges.

How do private institutions compare to public options for earnings potential?

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduates earn $88,933 annually, nearly double the $39,369-$50,856 range of most public school graduates. Rochester Institute of Technology also delivers strong outcomes at $64,990, though both require significantly higher upfront investment.
