2023 Best Value Biomedical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Biomedical Engineering Doctor'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. Along with traditional schools that require in-person attendence, you can attend one of many reputable online schools. Some programs even offer a hybrid experience. Alternatively, you may choose a trade school that prepares you to enter the workforce with knowledge in a specific field.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Biomedical Engineering Doctor's Degree Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 23 schools in the Southeast Region to see which doctor'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.
