2023 Best Value Biotechnology Master's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Biotechnology Master's Degree School for You
Biotechnology is the #172 most popular major in the country with 3,911 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Biotechnology Master's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. This report analyzed 9 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for biotech students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
