After analyzing 19 schools in North Carolina, we came up with our list of those that offered the best value Doctor's Degree programs. Our ranking for the best value schools is based on objective factors. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. More specifically, the following explains what we consider and why.
To calculate the value of a school in our Best Doctor's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income Over $110k) in North Carolina ranking, we first consider its average net price of students from families making over $110k a year. The net price is the sum of room and board, tuition, and fees minus any financial aid that that the student receives.
