To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Multi / Interdisciplinary Studies Schools in Washington ranking. This report analyzed 12 schools in Washington to see which ones offered the best value programs for multi / interdisciplinary studies students.

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.
