This year's Best Value Bachelor's Degree Colleges for Computer & Information Sciences in Tennessee ranking analyzed 12 colleges that offered a bachelor's degree in computer & information sciences. To us, 'best value' doesn't just mean the school with the lowest overall costs. For this ranking, we are identifying those computer & information sciences schools that provide their students with a hiqh quality education at a price that is lower than other colleges and universities of the same caliber.
To determine the average cost, we look at total expenses - such as tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses - and then subtract the average financial award a student receives. Knowing this amount can help you determine how much you may have to borrow in loans or take out of savings. Depending on your income and other factors, the cost for you to attend a particular school may be more or less.
