Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Basic Certificate School for You
With 344 degrees and certificates handed out in 2021-2022, clinical/medical laboratory science is the #16 most popular major in Virginia.
Today's trade school students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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.
The Best Value Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science Basic Certificate Schools in Virginia ranking is one of many tools that Trade College Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in Virginia to see which basic certificate programs offered the best value experiences for clinical laboratory science 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. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
