Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences Master'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.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Master's Degree Schools to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 440 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for biological and biomedical sciences students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
