Finding the Best Clinical, Counseling & Applied Psychology School for You

In 2020-2021, clinical, counseling and applied psychology students earned 372 degrees and certificates from a Connecticut school, making the subject the 9th in the state.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for students. 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 in Connecticut ranking is one of many tools that Grad Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 10 schools in Connecticut to see which ones offered the best value programs for clinical psychology students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. 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.

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