Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Communication & Journalism Bachelor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, 3,112 degrees and certificates were awarded to communication and journalism students who went to a Georgia college or university. This makes it the #11 most popular major in the state.
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 Communication & Journalism Bachelor's Degree Schools in Georgia ranking. Our analysis looked at 20 schools in Georgia to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for communication and journalism 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.
