"Deciding to attend graduate school can be daunting prospect for anyone, but particularly for those who live on a teacher's salary," says site editor Brett Gershon. "Many working adults already have student loan debt, so the idea of amassing more through an expensive graduate program is not a decision to be taken lightly." Yet, Gershon notes, there are objective benefits to pursuing an advanced degree such as higher salary, increased career opportunities, and greater professional competence. He adds, "We hope to make the decision process a little easier for prospective students by highlighting a selection of quality programs that strike a balance between reasonable tuition rates and a high return on investment."
A ranking that focuses on a narrowly defined career specialization such as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages should prove a useful resource for educators seeking advancement along a particular career path. Moreover, online programs of study make it possible to obtain a degree while remaining employed. By analyzing the objective factors that contribute to the overall value of graduate programs, Best College Values lessens the cumbersome amount of research that can accompany choosing a program of study. With the ranking as a guide, students are more likely to succeed in selecting a program that suits their unique educational needs and interests.
