2023 Best Value Biomedical Engineering Schools
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Biomedical Engineering School for You
In 2020-2021, 4,252 people earned a degree or certificate in biomedical engineering, making the major the #57 most popular in the United States.
There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Biomedical Engineering Schools ranking. This report analyzed 149 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value programs for bio engineering 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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
