Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Other Physical Science School for You
In 2020-2021, 15 degrees and certificates were awarded to physical sciences (other) students who went to a California college or university. This makes it the #285 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. 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 in California ranking. Our analysis looked at 2 schools in California 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.
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.
