To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Grad Degree Search has created its Best Value History Schools in Washington ranking. This report analyzed 4 schools in Washington to see which ones offered the best value programs for history students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
