2023 Best Value Public Health Master's Degree Schools in Kentucky
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Public Health Master's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, public health students earned 371 degrees and certificates from a Kentucky school, making the subject the 7th in the state.
With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Public Health Master's Degree Schools in Kentucky to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Kentucky to see which master's degree programs offered the best value experiences for public health 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. 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.
