Our analysis looked at 19 schools in California to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for marketing students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar.

The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
