2023 Best Value Physics Doctor's Degree Schools in Texas
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Physics Doctor's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, 736 degrees and certificates were awarded to physics students who went to a Texas college or university. This makes it the #80 most popular major in the state.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Physics Doctor's Degree Schools in Texas ranking. This report analyzed 9 schools in Texas to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for physics students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
