Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Hospitality Management Undergraduate Certificate School for You
Hospitality Management is the #65 most popular major in the country with 17,689 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
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 Hospitality Management Undergraduate Certificate Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 10 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which undergraduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for hospitality 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.
