Finding the Best Mental & Social Health Services Bachelor's Degree School for You

In 2020-2021, mental and social health services students earned 2,080 degrees and certificates from an Arizona school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.

With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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 assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Mental & Social Health Services Bachelor's Degree Schools in Arizona ranking. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in Arizona to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for mental health 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. 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.
