Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Psychology Bachelor's Degree School for You
Psychology is one of the most popular subjects to study in Arkansas. With 1,022 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 7th out of all the majors we track in the state.
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.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Psychology Bachelor's Degree Schools in Arkansas ranking. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in Arkansas to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for psychology 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.
