RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bestcollegevalues.com is a website that provides resources on objective value in higher education.

This month, Best College Values has released the latest in its series of "Best Value College Value" rankings, the 10 Best Online Master's of Engineering in Chemical Engineering.

This ranking is limited to schools that are regionally accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies for colleges and universities and have a reputation for offering high quality academic programs in engineering in one or more national publications such as U.S. News & World Report.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with a master's degree in engineering can earn an average of $400,000 more than those with only a bachelor's degree. Brett Gershon, site editor, says, "Because we live in a rapidly advancing technological society, the field of engineering is one of the most lucrative and secure professional fields, with the number of jobs for individuals with engineering training predicted to grow significantly in the coming years."

Because a Master's degree in engineering is known to provide some of the best returns on the investment among advanced degrees, these online degree programs are an excellent way for professionals to gain significant professional advantages without disrupting current employment or needing to relocate. These "Best Value" rankings are intended to direct prospective students to online programs that are specialization specific, balance reasonable tuition rates, offer a reputably high quality of education, and a high return on investment.
