2023 Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in Arkansas
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You
With 136 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, clinical/medical laboratory science is the #12 most popular major in Arkansas.
With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 Schools in Arkansas ranking. Our analysis looked at 17 schools in Arkansas 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.
