<p>I checked LSU website and could not find anything specific. I was told by someone this was the case. It is quite possible they throw in some scholarship to make it more affordable for Texans since Texas charges 5k per semester and LSU OOS is 11k while instate is 3k. So they can still collect more by giving 3-4k scholarship on OOS.</p>
<p>It is very hard to get into UT CE. If one gets in, I don’t think there is much money which means it is pricetage of 50k+ for OOS. There are some scholarships at A&M but one has to be national merit or very high stat to get those.</p>
<p>U Houston seems to be around 77 but not sure there is a lot of difference between 77 and 93. There is usually a lot of difference in rigor between a school at 10 vs a school ranked below 40 or so. However, the kind of job openings available to a school ranked very high might be different from those lower. If being employed is the primary goal, I suspect LSU graduates of CE don’t have any issues. </p>
<p>What about the financial situation?</p>
