2023 Best Value Dentistry Schools in the Great Lakes Region
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Dentistry School for You
Dentistry is the #16 most popular major in the country with 6,770 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Dentistry Schools in the Great Lakes Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 9 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for dentistry 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.
