Finding the Best Physical Sciences Bachelor's Degree School for You

With 1,090 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, physical sciences is the #18 most popular major in New Jersey.

Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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.

The Best Value Physical Sciences Bachelor's Degree Schools in New Jersey ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 7 schools in New Jersey to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for physical sciences 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. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
