2023 Best Value Health/Medical Admin Services Associate Degree Schools
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Health & Medical Administrative Services Associate Degree School for You
With 89,359 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, health and medical administrative services is the #2 most popular major in the United States.
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.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Healthcare Degree Search has developed this Best Value Health/Medical Admin Services Associate Degree Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 616 schools in the United States to see which associate degree programs offered the best value experiences for health and medical administrative services 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.
