Finding the Best Educational Administration School for You

Out of the majors we analyze each year, educational administration was ranked 2nd in North Carolina. In fact, 1,205 were awarded in the state in 2020-2021.

With all the teaching programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

The Best Value Educational Administration Schools in North Carolina ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 25 schools in North Carolina 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.

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.
