2023 Best Value Nursing Doctor's Degree Schools in Oklahoma
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Nursing Doctor's Degree School for You
Nursing is the most popular major in Oklahoma with 3,009 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 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 Nursing Doctor's Degree Schools in Oklahoma ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Oklahoma to see which doctor'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.
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.
