2023 Best Value Other Physical Science Schools
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Other Physical Science School for You
In 2020-2021, 538 people earned a degree or certificate in physical sciences (other), making the major the #277 most popular in the United States.
There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Other Physical Science Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 14 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best value experiences for physical sciences (other) students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
