The simple answer to your question is to refer you to:

But I have a couple of questions.
1. Why do you want to go to the BEST graduate program in education?
2. Related to that, what do you plan to do after you graduate?
3. The BEST graduate program is likely to cost more in tuition. Will the higher tuition be worth the cost?
4. Why do you want to take a graduate degree in education at all?
I'd say that, unless you plan to teach on the college level, a decent state university program is your best buy. And again my last question--why a graduate program in education at all? Especially, if your undergraduate degree is in education, don't you think it would be better to take a graduate degree in a REAL subject--e.g. math, biology, history, etc.-- where you really learn something, rather than taking an extra 36 or so credits in the mumbo-jumbo of education?

Teacher's College at Columbia University. No contest. See any ranking of grad programs in education for confirmation of this fact.

I just completed my Masters of Arts in Education attending the University of Phoenix and did it all online. I was very pleased with the information I learned from the classes and will take that information with me to the next position. Depending on your situation and your ability to be diligent about being online, it might be a good option to consider.
