Finding the Best Education Philosophy School for You

Education Philosophy is the #14 most popular major in the country with 737 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

It's not easy to decide which teaching program to enroll in when you have so many options available. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

The Best Value Education Philosophy Schools ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 44 schools in the United States to see which programs offered the best value experiences for education philosophy 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. 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.

Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
