Finding the Best Health Professions Doctor's Degree School for You

Health Professions is the most popular major in Ohio with 28,247 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021.

Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

The Best Value Health Professions Doctor's Degree Schools in Ohio ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 25 schools in Ohio to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for health professions students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
