Also there are many trade schools and bootcamps that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Healthcare Graduate Certificate Schools in New Mexico ranking is one of many tools that Healthcare Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in New Mexico to see which graduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for healthcare 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.
