Georgia Southern’s online Master of Education Program earns Top 50 national ranking

Georgia Southern University’s online Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership degree was recently ranked No. 48 in the nation by BestColleges.com, a leading source that provides students with higher education research and free college planning resources.

Educational Leadership program coordinator Juli Sergi McBrayer, Ed.D. “Our program assists candidates in growing professionally through collaboration with our expert faculty and relevant, applicable curriculum.”

To determine the Top 50 rankings, BestColleges.com analyzes statistical data and guiding principles to score factors in the areas of academic quality and affordability. Academic quality is determined by admissions, enrollment and retention rates, as well as the number of master’s in educational leadership graduates. Data is compiled from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and College Navigator, both of which are hosted by the National Center for Education Statistics.

“Our online graduate educational leadership ranking aims to highlight school programs that offer quality academic curriculums while remaining accessible, affordable and flexible for today’s students,” said Stephanie Snider, director of BestColleges.com. “By earning a position on our ranking, Georgia Southern University has demonstrated their continued commitment to academic excellence and student outcomes.”
