2022 Best Value Computational Science Schools for a Master’s
When it comes to choosing a college, students have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. College Factual has developed its “Best Value Computational Science Schools for a Master’s” ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
Computational Science is the 244th most popular major in the country with 1,184 degrees awarded in 2019-2020. In 2017-2018, computational science graduates who were awarded their degree in 2015-2017, earned an average of $0 and had an average of $0 in loans still to pay off.
At the master’s degree level specifically, there were 832 computational science graduates with average earnings and debt of $56,398 and $43,194 respectively.
For this year’s “Best Value Computational Science Schools for a Master’s” ranking, we looked at 24 colleges that offer a degree in computational science. Not only do the schools that top this list have excellent computational science programs, but they also cost less that schools of similar quality.
Some of the factors we look at when determining these rankings are overall quality of the computational science program at the school and the cost of the school after aid is awarded among other things. See our ranking methodology to learn more.
