Educational Assessment is the #11 most popular major in Pennsylvania with 70 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

Today's teaching students have lots of options to pick from when considering higher education opportunities. 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 Educational Assessment Graduate Certificate Schools in Pennsylvania ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 2 schools in Pennsylvania to see which ones offered the best value graduate certificate programs for assessment 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.
