Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Nursing Master's Degree School for You
Nursing is the most popular major in Kansas with 2,633 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for nursing students. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.
The Best Value Nursing Master's Degree Schools in Kansas ranking is one of many tools that Nursing Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 11 schools in Kansas to see which master's degree programs offered the best value experiences for nursing students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
