Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
The Best Value Nursing Schools in Michigan ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 17 schools in Michigan to see which programs offered the best value experiences for nursing 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. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
