Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Film, Video & Photographic Arts School for You
With 1,217 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, film, video and photographic arts is the #41 most popular major in Florida.
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 Film, Video & Photographic Arts Schools in Florida to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 11 schools in Florida to see which ones offered the best value programs for film 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.
