This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Interdisciplinary Studies ranking analyzed 72 colleges that offered a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies. Note that the phrase 'best value' does not mean the absolute lowest-priced. For this ranking, we are identifying those interdisciplinary studies schools that provide their students with a hiqh quality education at a price that is lower than other colleges and universities of the same caliber.
Average cost figures start with estimating tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses. We then subtract the average amount of financial aid that a student receives. You can use this as a gauge to estimate how much you may need to pay out of pocket to cover costs when financial aid isn't enough. Keep in mind that the net cost for you may be higher or lower, depending on your income and other factors.
