This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Sociology in New York ranking analyzed 51 colleges that offered a bachelor's degree in sociology.

Average cost figures start with estimating tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses. We then subtract the average amount of financial aid that a student receives. You can use this as a gauge to estimate how much you may need to pay out of pocket to cover costs when financial aid isn't enough. Keep in mind that the net cost for you may be higher or lower, depending on your income and other factors.
