Finding the Best Mental & Social Health Services 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.

The Best Value Mental & Social Health Services Schools in Arizona ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 9 schools in Arizona to see which ones offered the best value programs for mental health services 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.
