      What is Value?

      We calculate value by calculating average total cost (net price multiplied by time to graduation) and then compare that number to other schools of similar quality ranking. If the school is priced fairly based on the educational quality it receives a fair ranking. If it is underpriced it receives a good or excellent value.
