Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Other Social Sciences Schools in the Southeast Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 10 schools in the Southeast Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for other social sciences students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar.

The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
