Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences Bachelor's Degree School for You

Biological & Biomedical Sciences is one of the most popular majors in the nation, ranking 9th of all the majors we analyze. In 2020-2021, 177,778 degrees and certificates were awarded to students with this major.

With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Bachelor's Degree Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 866 schools in the United States to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for biological and biomedical sciences students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
