Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Medical Science School for You
In 2020-2021, 13 degrees and certificates were awarded to medical science students who went to a District of Columbia college or university. This makes it the #15 most popular major in the state.
With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Medical Science Schools in District of Columbia to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 2 schools in District of Columbia to see which programs offered the best value experiences for medical 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. 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.
