Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices

Finding the Best Wildlife Management School for You

In 2020-2021, 89 degrees and certificates were awarded to wildlife management students who went to a Maine college or university. This makes it the #40 most popular major in the state.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Wildlife Management Schools in Maine to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 2 schools in Maine to see which programs offered the best value experiences for wildlife students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

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. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
