Finding the Best Allied Health Professions School for You

Allied Health Professions is one of the most popular subjects to study in Kentucky. With 801 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 2nd out of all the majors we track in the state.

With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best 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.

The Best Value Allied Health Professions Schools in Kentucky ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 28 schools in Kentucky to see which ones offered the best value programs for allied health students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
