To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value Visual & Performing Arts Bachelor's Degree Schools in Vermont ranking. Our analysis looked at 5 schools in Vermont to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for visual and performing arts 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. 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.
