Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best International Business School for You
In 2018-2019, 10,181 people earned a degree or certificate in international business, making the major the #14 most popular in the United States.
Today's business students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Business Degree Central has created its Best Value International Business Schools ranking. Our analysis looked at 393 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best value experiences for international business students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
