Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences School for You

In 2020-2021, biological and biomedical sciences students earned 1,746 degrees and certificates from a Mississippi school, making the subject the 5th in the state.

There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in Mississippi ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 10 schools in Mississippi to see which ones offered the best value programs for biological and biomedical sciences students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
