2023 Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Biological & Biomedical Sciences School for You
With 28,851 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, biological and biomedical sciences is the #9 most popular major in the United States.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Biological & Biomedical Sciences Schools in the Middle Atlantic Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 78 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for biological and biomedical sciences 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.
