The Best Value Other Foreign Language & Literature Schools ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 16 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value programs for other foreign language 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. 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.
