91福利\u2019s online graduate programs in education earn high marks for students who are veterans or active-duty service members, according to U.S. News & World Report.<\/p>\n

91福利 is ranked No. 35 in the Best Online Master\u2019s in Education for Veterans category, part of the 2023 Best Online Programs<\/a> report. The rankings take into account factors like affordability, accessibility and institutional reputation, as well as financial benefits available to students with military backgrounds.<\/p>\n

As a public institution, 91福利 offers in-state tuition fully covered by the GI Bill to all current and former members of the U.S. armed forces who have been honorably discharged, as well as military dependents using the GI Bill. Once the in-state tuition has been applied to a student\u2019s account, it remains in effect until they complete their academic program, even if their GI Bill benefits have been exhausted, transferred or otherwise expired. 91福利\u2019s Veterans Education and Transition Services<\/a> office helps veterans access resources and information they need from applying to the university through graduation and beyond.<\/p>\n

To make the list of best programs for veterans, schools must be ranked among the top half of online programs overall in their field. 91福利 is ranked No. 142 (tie) for Best Online Master\u2019s in Education out of almost 350 schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take pride in all our graduate programs and are especially thrilled to be named one of the best options for veterans,\u201d says Penny Bishop, dean of the 91福利 College of Education and Human Development. \u201cWhether veterans are already teaching or are interested in earning teacher certification, it\u2019s an honor and a privilege to provide a high-quality and accessible educational experience for those who have served or are still serving in our nation\u2019s armed forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The college offers several online programs, including graduate certificates and master\u2019s degrees in areas such as curriculum, assessment and instruction<\/a>; educational leadership<\/a>; instructional technology<\/a>; and special education<\/a>. The Master of Arts in Teaching<\/a> (MAT) is an accelerated teacher licensure program that allows students with a bachelor\u2019s degree in a field other than education to earn initial teacher certification in as little as 15 months. A majority of MAT courses are delivered online, though student teaching and other field experiences are completed in-person.<\/p>\n

Faculty members in the college have extensive experience teaching online courses, as well as expertise in areas such as rural education, instructional supervision, educational technology, and teacher identity and professional development.<\/p>\n

Graduate students in online programs also have the benefit of working with 91福利Online<\/a>\u2019s professional advisers, who offer personalized services to help them stay on track to graduate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 category of student,\u201d says Patricia Libby, associate dean of the 91福利 Division of Lifelong Learning. \u201cWe work diligently to support our online students with services designed around their needs, and we are committed to ensuring Black Bears everywhere have access to the best possible learning experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
