2023 Best Value Biotechnology Schools in the Southwest Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Biotechnology School for You
Biotechnology is the #112 most popular major in the country with 1,567 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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 Biotechnology Schools in the Southwest Region ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 8 schools in the Southwest Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for biotech 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. 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.
