2023 Best Value Curriculum & Instruction Master's Degree Schools in Iowa
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Curriculum & Instruction Master's Degree School for You
In 2020-2021, curriculum and instruction students earned 129 degrees and certificates from an Iowa school, making the subject the 7th in the state.
Today's teaching students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 Iowa ranking. Our analysis looked at 5 schools in Iowa to see which master's degree programs offered the best value experiences for curriculum 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. 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.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
