Finding the Best Educational Administration School for You

In 2020-2021, educational administration students earned 758 degrees and certificates from a Colorado school, making the subject the 2nd 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.

The Best Value Educational Administration Schools in Colorado ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 10 schools in Colorado to see which ones offered the best value programs for education admin students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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.
