Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for You

Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science is the #14 most popular major in Minnesota with 192 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for healthcare students. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Schools in Minnesota ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in Minnesota 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.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
