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

Curriculum & Instruction is the most popular major in Nebraska with 1,161 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021.

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.

The Best Value Curriculum & Instruction Master's Degree Schools in Nebraska ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 8 schools in Nebraska 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.

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.
