To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Anthropology Master's Degree Schools in Indiana ranking. This report analyzed 5 schools in Indiana to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for anthropology students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
