Finding the Best Curriculum & Instruction Master's Degree School for You

Curriculum & Instruction is one of the most popular subjects to study in Massachusetts. With 671 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 6th out of all the majors we track in the state.

With all the teaching programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent. Or you may find the programs at a trade school to be a better alternative for you.

To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Teaching Degree Search has created its Best Value Curriculum & Instruction Master's Degree Schools in Massachusetts ranking. This report analyzed 11 schools in Massachusetts to see which ones offered the best value master's degree programs for curriculum students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
