This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Computer Science in Georgia ranking analyzed 7 colleges that offered a bachelor's degree in compsci. To us, 'best value' doesn't just mean the school with the lowest overall costs. We are more focused on compsci schools that offer a high quality education at a price lower that other schools of similar academic excellence.
To determine the average cost, we look at total expenses - such as tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses - and then subtract the average financial award a student receives. Knowing this amount can help you determine how much you may have to borrow in loans or take out of savings. Depending on your income and other factors, the cost for you to attend a particular school may be more or less.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Value CompSci Schools list, to help you choose the best school for you.
In addition to our rankings, you can take two colleges and compare them based on the criteria that matters most to you in our unique tool, College Combat.
