2023 Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in the Southeast Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences School for You
With 177,778 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, biological and biomedical sciences is the #9 most popular major in the United States.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 213 schools in the Southeast Region to see which 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.
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.
