Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best General Education School for You
In 2020-2021, general education students earned 117 degrees and certificates from a Georgia school, making the subject the 9th in the state.
It's not easy to decide which teaching program to enroll in when you have so many options available. 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 General Education Schools in Georgia ranking is one of many tools that Teaching Degree Search has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 8 schools in Georgia to see which programs offered the best value experiences for education students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
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. 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.
Our calculations use out-of-state tuition and fees in our nationwide and regional rankings. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
