Today's healthcare students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities.

To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Healthcare Degree Search has developed this Best Value Nursing Bachelor's Degree Schools in Wisconsin ranking. Our analysis looked at 27 schools in Wisconsin to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for nursing 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. 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.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
