Best Value Schools is an online platform that ranks colleges and universities and their programs, both in person and online.

To come up with each school’s final rating, the yearly tuition rate was added a multiplier equivalent to the percentage of enrolled students who did not graduate.

“The Dwight Schar College of Education is deeply committed to support those who want to become teachers. We are very proud of our varied pathways to teaching that include our partnership with Lorain County Community College, our presence in Columbus, and our Eagle Opportunity Program. Our students demonstrate greater ‘grit’ than students from our peer institutions as noted by area superintendents and national assessments,” said Dean Dr. Donna Breault. “Our 99 percent pass rate on state licensure tests clearly shows that students get the individualized support they need to thrive in their future classrooms. It is no surprise that we are the best value in private institutions in the country and one of the overall best values in the country when compared to all public and private institutions.”
