The Best Value Nursing Doctor's Degree Schools in New Jersey ranking is one of many tools that Nursing Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 12 schools in New Jersey to see which ones offered the best value doctor's degree programs for nursing students.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
