Finding the Best Value Library Science School for You
Library Science is the #37 most popular major in the country with N/A bachelor's degrees awarded in 2021-2022.
To us, 'best value' doesn't just mean the school with the lowest overall costs. For this ranking, we are identifying those library science 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.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Value Library Science Schools ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
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.
Test it out when you get a chance! You may also want to bookmark the link and share it with others who are trying to make the college decision.
