2023 Best Value Medicine Schools
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Medicine School for You
In 2020-2021, 28,629 people earned a degree or certificate in medicine, making the major the #41 most popular in the United States.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 Medicine Schools ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 133 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value programs for medicine 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.
