Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Dance Bachelor's Degree School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, dance was ranked #161 in the country. In fact 3,288 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
Today's students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Dance Bachelor's Degree Schools in the Great Lakes Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 28 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which ones offered the best value bachelor's degree programs for dance 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.
