Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in Washington ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 15 schools in Washington to see which 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.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
