To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value General Biology Doctor's Degree Schools in Florida ranking. Our analysis looked at 6 schools in Florida to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for biology students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar.

The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
