Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You

With 137 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, clinical/medical laboratory science is the #15 most popular major in Georgia.

It's not easy to decide which healthcare program to enroll in when you have so many options available. 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 Georgia ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 22 schools in Georgia 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. 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.
