2023 Best Value Biomedical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Biomedical Engineering Bachelor's Degree School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, biomedical engineering was ranked #74 in the country. In fact 12,811 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Biomedical Engineering Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 28 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for bio engineering students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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.
