2023 Best Value Human Resource Management Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Human Resource Management School for You
Human Resource Management is the #44 most popular major in the country with 28,787 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Human Resource Management Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 105 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for HR 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.
