Finding the Best Personal & Culinary Services Undergraduate Certificate School for You

In 2021-2022, personal & culinary services students earned 1,669 degrees and certificates from a Wisconsin school, making the subject the 3rd in the state.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for trade school 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.

To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Trade College Search has created its Best Value Personal & Culinary Services Undergraduate Certificate Schools in Wisconsin ranking. This report analyzed 26 schools in Wisconsin to see which ones offered the best value undergraduate certificate programs for personal & culinary services 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.
