To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Teaching Degree Search has created its Best Value Other Education Basic Certificate Schools in the Southeast Region ranking. This report analyzed 10 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value basic certificate programs for other 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. 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.
