Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You

With 192 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, clinical/medical laboratory science is the #79 most popular major in Minnesota.

Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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.

The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in Minnesota ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in Minnesota 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. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
