Schools of Education - How to Choose

It is important to note when looking at professional schools, that most offer special programs to distinguish themselves from the competition. While all will offer some variation on a masters and/or doctoral degree, many programs will be sufficiently unique to render the rankings below somewhat irrelevant.

In other words, a careful examination of individual degree programs will give you a better feel for which is the best for you. Of course, consulting with your faculty mentors, Susan Engel, and John Noble will provide guidance to suit your particular interests.
