2023 Best Value Educational Assessment Graduate Certificate Schools
Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Educational Assessment Graduate Certificate School for You
Educational Assessment is the #11 most popular major in the country with 2,552 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.
Today's teaching students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 Assessment Graduate Certificate Schools ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 50 schools in the United States to see which graduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for assessment students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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.
