Choosing the Best School for You

We analyzed 262 schools across the Southeast Region to determine which have 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.

Our Methodology

To calculate the value of a school in our Best Master's Degree Colleges for the Money (Income Over $110k) in the Southeast Region 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. 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 consider a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a combination of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
