Finding the Best Clinical, Counseling & Applied Psychology School for You

With 1,094 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, clinical, counseling and applied psychology is the #14 most popular major in Colorado.

Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.

To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Clinical & Counseling Psychology Schools in Colorado ranking. This report analyzed 10 schools in Colorado to see which ones offered the best value programs for clinical psychology students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
