Finding the Best Other Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies School for You

Other Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies is the #76 most popular major in New York with 947 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 Other Interdisciplinary Studies Schools in New York ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 7 schools in New York to see which ones offered the best value programs for other interdisciplinary studies 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.
