Rankings for this list were compiled using college data from NCES (National Center for Education Statistics), a bureau of the Dept. of Education (http://nces.ed.gov/). Using NCES's College Navigator online service, AffordableSchools.net queried for all institutions of higher education in the United States that offer a bachelor's degree in Networking, Network Administration or similar, sorted by NCES' listed "yearly net average price," filtered out defunct/ soon-to-be defunct colleges, schools with no net price, schools with no actual program (bad data), and verified programs. This list is part of an ongoing series about affordable bachelor's degrees.
