There are so many computer science programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you.

The Best Value Computer Science Master's Degree Schools in Arizona ranking is one of many tools that Computer Science Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Arizona to see which master's degree programs offered the best value experiences for compsci 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.
