Finding Your Best College Match
We analyzed 11 schools across Vermont to determine which have the best value programs. To come up with this ranking of the best value schools, we look at factors that are all objective measurements. We explain more about what we look at and why we do so below.
Our Methodology
Our Best Colleges for the Money in Vermont ranking is determined by first looking at the combined costs of average tuition, fees, and room and board before any aid is applied.
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 host of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.
We go into more detail on these factors on our best value ranking methodology page.
