The first step of determing the value of a school in our Best Master's Degree Colleges for the Money (With Aid) in New Mexico ranking is to look at the school's average net price - the sum of tuition, fees, and room and board minus any financial aid awarded to the student. But, a school that excels in providing value for your money must also be a great school overall as well.
