47 programs worth your money — curated, not comprehensive. Every listing shows total cost in dollars, ranking band, GRE policy, and location. Ranked by employment outcomes first — because nobody hires the ranking. We deliberately list fewer schools: these are the ones we'd recommend to our own family.
Tuition is annual tuition & fees only — add $12,000–$24,000/yr living costs for the real number. A #60 school with strong co-ops in a job hub beats #30 in a college town. Verify every figure on the university's official cost-of-attendance page before deciding.
