Finding the Best Student Counseling School for You

In 2020-2021, student counseling students earned 836 degrees and certificates from a Texas school, making the subject the 7th in the state.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which teaching program is right for you. 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.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Teaching Degree Search has created the Best Value Student Counseling Schools in Texas to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 26 schools in Texas 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. 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.
