Finding the Best Value Horticulture School for You
In 2021-2022, N/A people earned their bachelor's in horticulture, making the major the #228 most popular in the United States.
This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Horticulture ranking looked at 21 colleges that offer a bachelor's in horticulture. Note that the phrase 'best value' does not mean the absolute lowest-priced. Instead, we are looking at those horticulture schools that offer a high quality educational experience at a price lower than expected.
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.
One Size Does Not Fit All
