Finding the Best Teacher Education Subject Specific Bachelor's Degree School for You

Teacher Education Subject Specific is one of the most popular subjects to study in Florida. With 1,534 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, it ranked 3rd 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 Teacher Education Subject Specific Bachelor's Degree Schools in Florida ranking. Our analysis looked at 24 schools in Florida to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for subject specific ed 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. 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.
