Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Basic Certificate School for You
Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science is the #11 most popular major in North Carolina with 240 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
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.
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 North Carolina ranking. This report analyzed 11 schools in North Carolina to see which ones offered the best value basic certificate programs for clinical laboratory science 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.
