Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You

Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science is one of the most popular subjects to study in Utah. With 255 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 9th 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. Along with traditional schools that require in-person attendence, you can attend one of many reputable online schools. Some programs even offer a hybrid experience. Alternatively, you may choose a trade school that prepares you to enter the workforce with knowledge in a specific field.

The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in Utah ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 9 schools in Utah 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.

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.
