After analyzing 17 schools in Kansas, we came up with our list of those that offered the best value Master's Degree programs. To come up with this ranking of the best value schools, we look at factors that are all objective measurements. More specifically, the following explains what we consider and why.
The first step of determing the value of a school in our Best Master's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income $75-$110k) in Kansas ranking is to look at the school's average net price for students with families that make $75-$110k a year. The net price is the sum of tuition, fees, and room and board minus any financial aid awarded to the student. But, a school that excels in providing value for your money must also be a great school overall as well.
To take this into account we include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
