In This Year's Value Report:
After analyzing 26 schools in Wisconsin, we came up with our list of those that offered the best value Associate Degree programs. Our ranking for the best value schools is based on objective factors. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. More specifically, the following explains what we consider and why.
The first step of determing the value of a school in our Best Associate Degree Colleges for the Money (Income $75-$110k) in Wisconsin ranking is to look at the school's average net price for students with families that make $75-$110k a year. The net price is the sum of tuition, fees, and room and board minus any financial aid awarded to the student. In addition, the overall quality of a school is important to ensure a good education, not just how much it costs.
To make it into this list a school must offer a quality education like the schools in our Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considers factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.
