Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Grad Degree Search has created the Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in the Great Lakes Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 62 schools in the Great Lakes Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for biological and biomedical sciences students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
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.
