Finding the Best Public Health Doctor's Degree School for You

In 2020-2021, public health students earned 596 degrees and certificates from an Oregon school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.

With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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.

The Best Value Public Health Doctor's Degree Schools in Oregon ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 3 schools in Oregon to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for public health students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
