Best College Values Releases Rankings for Online Master's in Education in Special Education and School Counseling
RALEIGH, N.C., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Best College Values has released the latest in a series of rankings for Online Master's of Education programs. The two most recent rankings include a list of 25 online Master's in Special Education programs (http://www.bestcollegevalues.com/rankings/online/best-online-masters-special-education/), and a list of online Master's in School Counseling and Educational Psychology programs (http://www.bestcollegevalues.com/rankings/online/best-masters-of-education-administration-leadership/).
These rankings highlight online degree programs that provide reputably high quality education and affordable tuition rates with a high return on investment. The rankings are limited to colleges and universities that are regionally accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies for colleges and schools.
Rankings that focus on specific career specializations (in this case special education and school counseling) are useful resources for adults working in the field of education who want to pursue further career specialization. Online programs of study make this possible without interrupting work. By analyzing the objective factors that play into the value of a degree, Best College Values aims to lessen the cumbersome research load that accompanies choosing a program of study. Prospective students can then put their energy into more subjective criteria to find a program that suits their unique needs and interests.
In the ranking of 25 online Special Education programs, the number one school is Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. The University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, is ranked second, and Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, is ranked third.

"The prospect of attending graduate school can be daunting, especially for those living on a teacher's salary," says site editor Brett Gershon. "Many prospective graduate students carry a heavy burden of debt from their undergraduate education and must carefully weigh the decision to amass more by enrolling in an expensive graduate program." Yet, Gershon notes, there are objective benefits to pursuing an advanced degree including higher salary, expanded career opportunities, and growth in professional competence. "We hope to make the decision a little easier by highlighting a selection of quality programs that strike a balance between reasonable tuition rates and a high return on investment," he says.
