UC online education program recognized

A University of the Cumberlands online education program has recently been ranked among the top programs in the nation.

Teacher Certificate Degrees, a leading education resource, recently published its list of top-ranked online master’s in education program rankings with the University of the Cumberlands placing seventh on the list.

UC has an average online tuition of $315 per online credit hour. About 12 percent of the program’s faculty is tenured, and a 2.75 is the minimum GPA needed for acceptance.

UC ranks 92 on U.S. News Best Online Graduate Education Programs ranking.

“Our ranking is designed to help those considering a career change into teaching understand and compare their options for hybrid and online master’s-level teacher preparation programs for first-time educators. Our unique ranking uses markers of academic merit as well as metrics outlining the student experience to highlight quality as well as value and differs from other lists in this space by focusing on programs that lead to certification, rather than professional development designed for teachers who are already credentialed,” Teacher Certificate Degrees Associate Editor Laura McPherson said in a release.

Teacher Certification Degrees is a free resource for those looking to explore, start, or expand a career in education. Its editorial staff has written and published a wealth of information on how to become a teacher, including teacher certification, teaching degrees, teaching careers, related articles, news, and interviews.

Published by Project 8 Labs LLC, Teacher Certification Degrees was established in 2010 and is based in the Seattle metro area. It has been a Better Business Bureau accredited business since 2012.
