Finding the Best Curriculum & Instruction School for You

With 19,832 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, curriculum and instruction is the #6 most popular major in the United States.

When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for teaching students. 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 help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Teaching Degree Search has developed this Best Value Curriculum & Instruction Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. This report analyzed 100 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for curriculum students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.

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