Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best General Education School for You
General Education is one of the most popular subjects to study in Kentucky. With 95 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 7th out of all the majors we track in the state.
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.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Teaching Degree Search has developed this Best Value General Education Schools in Kentucky ranking. This report analyzed 6 schools in Kentucky to see which ones offered the best value programs for education 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.
