Finding the Best Transportation & Materials Moving School for You

Transportation & Materials Moving is one of the most popular majors in the nation, ranking 7th of all the majors we analyze. In 2020-2021, 28,383 degrees and certificates were awarded to students with this major.

Today's trade school students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Trade College Search has created the Best Value Transportation & Materials Moving Schools to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 142 schools in the United States to see which ones offered the best value programs for transportation and materials moving students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
