“A growing number of education schools are hosting online teacher preparation programs at the master’s level to respond to teacher shortages. Our list differentiates itself from others by honing in on online master's programs for initial certification."

Post this

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 22, 2017 -- TeacherCertificationDegrees.com, a popular education-focused website that provides in-depth information on teacher preparation programs and certification requirements in the US, has released its ranking of the top online master’s degrees in education. To be considered for the list, schools with a hybrid online master’s program designed to lead to first-time certification for new teachers were evaluated for not-for-profit status and accreditation from one of the six regional accreditation agencies in the US recognized by the US Department of Education. The online master’s programs from the schools included are also equivalent to degrees granted to traditional, on-campus students. The rankings were based on factors measuring academic excellence, student experience and support, and graduate success.

The ranking uses a unique methodology that considers such factors as the average tuition cost per online credit hour; program accreditation by CAEP (or legacy accreditation from TEAC or NCATE); graduation rate; the average tuition cost per online credit hour; and school rankings according to US News & World Report in the regional, national, and online categories.

According to Rob Voce, founder of TeacherCertificationDegrees.com, “A growing number of education schools are hosting online teacher preparation programs at the master’s level to respond to teacher shortages in high-demand subjects and in select regions of the US. Our list differentiates itself from others by honing in on master’s programs designed for initial certification, also known as career-changer programs.”

Overall, 34 hybrid and online master’s in education programs met the screening benchmarks and ranked on this year’s list. As well as providing data for the ranking factors of included programs, the 2017 Top-Ranked Online Master’s in Education Programs list includes in-depth information on schools’ admissions statistics and requirements; tuition comparisons for in-state, out-of-state, and online students; and the services and support available to online students. Users can also view:

-In-depth profiles of select online graduate teaching programs
