2023 Best Value General Visual & Performing Arts Schools in Oregon
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best General Visual & Performing Arts School for You
With 66 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, general visual and performing arts is the #114 most popular major in Oregon.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value General Visual & Performing Arts Schools in Oregon ranking. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in Oregon to see which programs offered the best value experiences for visual arts students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
