It's not easy to decide which program to enroll in when you have so many options available.

Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

This report analyzed 5 schools in Colorado to see which ones offered the best value programs for sociology students.

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.
