The Best Value Anthropology Bachelor's Degree Schools in Maine ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 5 schools in Maine to see which ones offered the best value bachelor's degree programs for anthropology 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.
