2023 Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in the Southeast Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, clinical/medical laboratory science was ranked #92 in the country. In fact 18,901 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 217 schools in the Southeast Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for clinical laboratory science students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
