Filter schools in Washington state offering programs in Library and Information Science by fields and degree levels. Rank each school by tuition, graduation rate, average SAT scores and admission rate.

While basing a big part of your decision on some of the most important numbers seen here (graduation rate and tuition), don’t forget to assess the more “soft” values associated with each institution. Location: being near family can provide grounding to help you better focus and succeed in your education (living at home can also save tens of thousands of dollars at the end of a 4-year degree). Does the university have a quality career services department. This can be the difference between post-graduation floundering or spring-boarding into a high paying career.
