Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best International Business School for You
With 436 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, international business is the #63 most popular major in Michigan.
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.
The Best Value International Business Schools in Michigan ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 19 schools in Michigan to see which ones offered the best value programs for international business 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. 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.
