Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Undergraduate Certificate School for You

With 280 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, clinical/medical laboratory science is the #11 most popular major in Arizona.

It's not easy to decide which healthcare program to enroll in when you have so many options available. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Undergraduate Certificate Schools in Arizona ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in Arizona to see which undergraduate certificate 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.
