Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Nursing Basic Certificate School for You
Nursing is the most popular major in the United States with 42,404 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021.
It's not easy to decide which healthcare program to enroll in when you have so many options available. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Nursing Basic Certificate Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking.
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. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
