Our analysis looked at 8 schools in South Carolina to determine which ones have the best value Doctor's Degree programs. Instead of depending on subjective information to rank the best value schools, we focus on objective factors in our analysis. We explain more about what we look at and why we do so below.
To calculate the value of a school in our Best Doctor's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income $30-$48k) in South Carolina ranking, we first consider its average net price of students from families making $30-$48k a year.
