Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Fire Protection School for You
With 88 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, fire protection is the #121 most popular major in Wisconsin.
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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Fire Protection Schools in Wisconsin to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in Wisconsin to see which programs offered the best value experiences for fire protection 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. 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.
