To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value Rehabilitation Professions Master's Degree Schools in Illinois ranking. This report analyzed 13 schools in Illinois to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for rehabilitation students.

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.
