2023 Best Value Psychology Master's Degree Schools in Texas
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Psychology Master's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, psychology students earned 11,577 degrees and certificates from a Texas school, making the subject the 9th in the state.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Psychology Master's Degree Schools in Texas ranking. Our analysis looked at 47 schools in Texas to see which master'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. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
