2023 Best Value Educational Administration Schools
Highlighting Quality Schools With More Affordable Pricing
Finding the Best Educational Administration School for You
Educational Administration is the #22 most popular major in the country with 46,469 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
There are so many programs in today's world that it can tough to figure out which one is the right one for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.
The Best Value Educational Administration Schools ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 722 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best value experiences for education admin 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.
