2023 Best Value Education Bachelor's Degree Schools in Utah
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Education Bachelor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, education students earned 14,970 degrees and certificates from an Utah school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Education Bachelor's Degree Schools in Utah ranking. Our analysis looked at 7 schools in Utah to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for education 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. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
