The Best Value Student Counseling Master's Degree Schools in Missouri ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 11 schools in Missouri to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for student counseling students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
