Finding the Best Allied Health Professions Basic Certificate School for You

With 82,308 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, allied health professions is the #3 most popular major in the United States.

With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Allied Health Professions Basic Certificate Schools in the New England Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 16 schools in the New England Region to see which basic certificate programs offered the best value experiences for allied health students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
