Answer 1

Princeton Review has a tool that asks you questions about your background and interests -- and then lists colleges that are right for you. It also filters school geographically if you want it to. The site also has lots of information about the requirements needed to get into these schools.

You don't say anything about your qualifications. But if you want a good school, then here is my opinion:

New Jersey:

The only schools in NJ that I think are worth going to are Princeton, Rutgers and The College of New Jersey. The rest are mediocre at best -- except for NJIT and Stevens Institute which would not be great for someone majoring in education.

Maryland:

The best schools in Maryland ar Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland and St John's in Annapolis.

North Carolina:

The best schools in NC are Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest and NC State

Pennsylvania:

PA has dozens of great schools. In Eastern PA, the best schools are: University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Villanova, Bucknell, Lehigh, Temple and Drexel.

Delaware:

Is there anything worth going to other than U of Delaware?

South Carolina:

The best schools are USC, College of Charleston and Clemson.

Florida:

I wouldn't want to go to anything other than U of F.

Answer 2

If you are looking to study the philosophical aspects of Education, I would recommend the University of Pennsylvania or Columbia's Teachers College.

If you want to be a teacher I would recommend a small or medium sized liberal arts college where you can get a lot of one on one attention and spend a lot of time in classrooms. For example, Wilson College, Marywood University, Susquehanna University.

Answer 3

I am familiar with the universities in the areas you are thinking about. Education is a rather wide category! For instance, if you want to be an English teacher, Notre Dame is one of the best. You really have to do your research to see which schools specialize in which areas and what they are "known" for in that area. How do you do this? The internet is a good tool, but the best way to find out your answers is to schedule an appointment with your current school counselor and talk to them about the schools you are interested in attending, your career goals for yourself, and what kind of financial situation you are in (which may limit which schools you would want to consider).

Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

once you're finding to income the philosophical aspects of training, i might propose the college of Pennsylvania or Columbia's instructors college. in case you % to be a instructor i might propose a small or medium sized liberal arts college the place you will get somewhat some 1 on one interest and spend somewhat some time in lecture rooms. case in point, Wilson college, Marywood college, Susquehanna college.
