2023 Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Bachelor's Degree Schools
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Bachelor's Degree School for You
Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science is the #13 most popular major in the country with 18,901 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for healthcare students. 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.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Healthcare Degree Search has developed this Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Bachelor's Degree Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 222 schools in the United States to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for clinical laboratory science 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. 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.
