Walsh MAED Named Among Best Online Programs by U.S. News and World Report

U.S. News & World Report has once again named Walsh University’s Master of Arts in Education (MAED) online program as one of the best for 2021. Walsh’s MAED program was ranked high enough to earn a place on the list of badge-eligible programs and therefore the right to be called a U.S. News Best Online Program. Out of the 300 programs evaluated nationally, Walsh is one of the highest ranked programs in Northeast Ohio at No. 108. This is the third consecutive year the MAED program has been honored. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence. 

“Our Walsh University graduate education online programs are taught by outstanding professionals with extensive P-12 and higher education experience, all with specialized expertise and highly committed to student success,” said Division of Education Chair Jean Defazio, Ph.D. “Faculty include state and national leaders in their respective fields and online education, assuring evidence-based, relevant practices that meet the needs of today's educators and school leaders.”
