Finding the Best Student Counseling School for You

Student Counseling is one of the most popular subjects to study in Kentucky. With 352 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 5th out of all the majors we track in the state.

Today's teaching students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. With more and more schools offering online options, you could even register for a great program on the other side of the country. On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.

The Best Value Student Counseling Schools in Kentucky ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 9 schools in Kentucky to see which programs offered the best value experiences for student counseling 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. 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.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
