Finding Your Best College Match
Our analysis looked at 12 schools in Hawaii to determine which ones have the best value 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. We explain more about what we look at and why we do so below.
Our Methodology
To determine the value of a school in our Best Colleges for the Money in Hawaii ranking, we first add average tuition, fees, and room and board costs (without aid) together.
In addition, the overall quality of a school is important to ensure a good education, not just how much it costs.
To make it into this list a school must offer a quality education like the schools in our Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considers factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.
We go into more detail on these factors on our best value ranking methodology page.
