This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Computer & Information Sciences in the Southwest Region ranking looked at 60 colleges that offer a bachelor's in computer & information sciences. To us, 'best value' doesn't just mean the school with the lowest overall costs. For this ranking, we are identifying those computer & information sciences schools that provide their students with a hiqh quality education at a price that is lower than other colleges and universities of the same caliber.
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.
The computer & information sciences school you choose to invest your time and money in matters. To help you make the decision that is right for you, we've developed a number of major-specific rankings, including this list of the Best Value Computer & Information Sciences Schools.
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.
