BestValueSchools.com Releases 2017-2018 Value Ranking of Online Doctoral Programs in Psychology

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BestValueSchools.com has published its 2017-2018 list of the Top 20 Online Doctoral Programs in Psychology, which is available here: http://www.bestvalueschools.com/psychology/online-doctoral-programs-in-psychology/

The demand for skilled individuals in this field is strong. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs for professional psychologists, counselors, university professors, and medical researchers are all growing as fast or faster than the national average.

While there is no "one size fits all" approach to education and different students have unique educational needs, BestValueSchools.com sought to create an objective ranking of the online PhD psychology programs representing the best overall value. Ranking factors include affordability (per-credit tuition cost), accessibility (percentage of the program delivered online), quality of curriculum (indicated by a specialized accreditation or adherence to other academic guidelines), and course depth/breadth (coinciding with the specific topics that the American Psychological Association requires for all APA-accredited programs).

Below is a list of the 20 schools that made the ranking.
