If you are choosing a Education & Early Childhood program in Virginia, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with Virginia public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within Virginia published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost.
