Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Nursing & Nursing Assistants Basic Certificate Schools in Wisconsin to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 16 schools in Wisconsin to see which basic certificate programs offered the best value experiences for practical nursing students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
