Value can be defined as the likelihood of getting a job after graduation and the average salary of graduates of that school. U.S. News and World Report maintains a list of “best value” online MBA programs, defined as those where graduates earn an annual salary of at least three times their student debt load. According to the College Board, graduate students borrow an average of $17,230 in federal loans each year. Some schools on the U.S. News list include Louisiana State University, Auburn University, and the University of Texas. Read more here.
