Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences School for You

In 2020-2021, biological and biomedical sciences students earned 3,106 degrees and certificates from a Minnesota school, making the subject the 8th in the state.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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 Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in Minnesota ranking. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in Minnesota 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.

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. 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.

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