2023 Best Value Computational Science Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Computational Science School for You
Computational Science is the #224 most popular major in the country with 1,360 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. Along with traditional schools that require in-person attendence, you can attend one of many reputable online schools. Some programs even offer a hybrid experience. Alternatively, you may choose a trade school that prepares you to enter the workforce with knowledge in a specific field.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Computational Science Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking. This report analyzed 9 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for computational science 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.
