The Best Value Mental & Social Health Services Schools in the Southeast Region ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 81 schools in the Southeast Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for mental health services 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. 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.
