Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Mental & Social Health Services Schools in Missouri to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 5 schools in Missouri to see which 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.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar.

The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
