Finding the Best Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology Doctor's Degree School for You

With 64 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology is the #56 most popular major in Tennessee.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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.

To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Grad Degree Search has developed this Best Value Biochemistry & Biophysics Doctor's Degree Schools in Tennessee ranking. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in Tennessee to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for biochemistry 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.
