To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Child Development & Psychology Schools in New Jersey ranking. This report analyzed 4 schools in New Jersey to see which ones offered the best value programs for child development students.

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. 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.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
