In the next few paragraphs, we'll talk a little about what we use in our analysis and why.
When determining the value of a school in our Best Master's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income $75-$110k) in Louisiana ranking, we first look at its average net price of a student coming from a family that makes $75-$110k a year.
