Stressed high school junior here. I'm interested in becoming a teacher and I've heard that there are online military-friendly colleges that offer degrees in education. Has anyone compared them before, and could guide me on which are the best ones?
Many military-friendly colleges offer online education degree programs, and it's great that you're exploring this route. Choosing the right one can certainly add to your stress, but I'm here to help lessen that.
The two most common measures of the best military-friendly schools are their dedication to veterans (often measured by participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program) and the quality of their education programs. Here are some online colleges well-reputed in both areas:
1. Pennsylvania State University - World Campus (PSU- WC): The World Campus offers an online Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. PSU is a Yellow Ribbon School and is highly rated by U.S. News for their education programs.
2. Syracuse University: Syracuse University offers an online Master's in Teaching. Its School of Education is highly rated, plus it's a Yellow Ribbon School with extensive military and veteran financial and support services.
3. Arizona State University (ASU) - Online: ASU provides an online Bachelor of Arts in Education. The school actively seeks out military students and offers a range of scholarships for veterans and active duty military.
4. Grand Canyon University (GCU) - Online: GCU has many online teaching degree programs. The university offers military tuition rates and a dedicated office for military students.
5. Walden University: This is an entirely online university with a wide range of education degrees. Walden University is GI Bill certified and offers tuition reductions for military families.
These are just a few examples and there might be other suitable alternatives based on your specific circumstances. Always remember to reach out to the school for additional information and verify whether the course content, financial benefits, and support services align with your needs.
