This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Mathematics & Statistics in the Far Western US Region ranking analyzed 37 colleges that offered a bachelor's degree in mathematics & statistics. To us, 'best value' doesn't just mean the school with the lowest overall costs. We are more focused on mathematics & statistics schools that offer a high quality education at a price lower that other schools of similar academic excellence.
To determine the average cost, we look at total expenses - such as tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses - and then subtract the average financial award a student receives. Knowing this amount can help you determine how much you may have to borrow in loans or take out of savings. Depending on your income and other factors, the cost for you to attend a particular school may be more or less.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Value Mathematics & Statistics Schools list, to help you choose the best school for you.
