2023 Best Value Medical Science Schools in the Southeast Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Medical Science School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, medical science was ranked #248 in the country. In fact 909 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Medical Science Schools in the Southeast Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 11 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for medical science students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
