2023 Best Value Real Estate Schools in the Great Lakes Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Real Estate School for You
Real Estate is the #153 most popular major in the country with 6,547 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Real Estate Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for real estate students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
