2023 Best Value Clinical & Counseling Psychology Schools
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Clinical, Counseling & Applied Psychology School for You
In 2020-2021, 29,224 clinical, counseling and applied psychology students received their degrees and certificates, making the major the #8 most popular in the country.
There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which program is right for you. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.
The Best Value Clinical & Counseling Psychology Schools ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 515 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best value experiences for clinical psychology 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.
