Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Physics Bachelor's Degree Schools in Indiana to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 7 schools in Indiana to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for physics students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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.
