2023 Best Value Biomedical Engineering Schools in Florida
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Biomedical Engineering School for You
In 2020-2021, 524 degrees and certificates were awarded to biomedical engineering students who went to a Florida college or university. This makes it the #80 most popular major in the state.
It's not easy to decide which program to enroll in when you have so many options available. 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 Biomedical Engineering Schools in Florida ranking. This report analyzed 9 schools in Florida to see which ones offered the best value programs for bio engineering students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
