Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Basic Certificate School for You
Out of all the majors we analyze each year, clinical/medical laboratory science was ranked #13 in the country. In fact 18,901 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.
It's not easy to decide which healthcare program to enroll in when you have so many options available. 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 Basic Certificate Schools in the New England Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 13 schools in the New England Region to see which basic certificate 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.
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. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
