2023 Best Value Education Bachelor's Degree Schools in the New England Region
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Education Bachelor's Degree School for You
With 327,871 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, education is the #4 most popular major in the United States.
With all the programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best 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.
Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Course Advisor has created the Best Value Education Bachelor's Degree Schools in the New England Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. Our analysis looked at 69 schools in the New England Region to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for education students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
