How Hakia ranks education programs
Hakia has matched people to what they are looking for by meaning, not keywords, since 2004. For education, we rank real, accredited degree programs on the outcomes that shape a teaching career: whether students finish, how selective admission is, and what the degree costs, all drawn from federal data.
Program and school figures come from IPEDS at the U.S. Department of Education. Wage and career data come from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics. We do not sell placement in our rankings.
