2023 Best Value Medicine Doctor's Degree Schools
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Medicine Doctor's Degree School for You
Medicine is one of the most popular majors in the nation, ranking 7th of all the majors we analyze. In 2020-2021, 28,629 degrees and certificates were awarded to students with this major.
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 Medicine Doctor's Degree Schools ranking. This report analyzed 133 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for medicine students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
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.
