To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value History Schools in Minnesota ranking. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Minnesota to see which programs offered the best value experiences for history students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
