Finding the Best Law School for You

Law is one of the most popular subjects to study in Connecticut. With 458 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 5th out of all the majors we track in the state.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.

The Best Value Law Schools in Connecticut ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 2 schools in Connecticut to see which programs offered the best value experiences for law students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
