Finding the Best Educational Assessment Master's Degree School for You

Educational Assessment is the #11 most popular major in Illinois with 69 degrees and certificates awarded in 2020-2021.

There are lots of options to pick from today when trying to decide which teaching program is right for you. 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.

To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Teaching Degree Search has created its Best Value Educational Assessment Master's Degree Schools in Illinois ranking. Our analysis looked at 4 schools in Illinois to see which master's degree 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. 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.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
