In 2000, U.S. News began ranking specialty areas of Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Administration and Supervision, Special Education and Educational/Instructional Media Design. These specialty area rankings are based on peer assessment of academic reputation. Eligibility requirements include the institution having “received at least five ratings from peer institutions, been ranked in the main online master’s in education rankings, and verified in the peer assessment they offer the specialty or else had this verified by U.S. News.”
The college was recognized by peers as leaders in all available specialty areas, with the following rankings:
- No. 1 – Educational Administration and Supervision
- No. 2 – Special Education
- No. 3 – Curriculum and Instruction
- No. 7 – Instructional Media/Educational Technology

The college’s continuously high rankings in online education are evidence of a dedicated, concerted approach toward implementing pedagogical best practices and constantly seeking opportunities for improvement. While online education saw a significant spike over the past two years, leaders at the college have been growing distance learning programs to meet projected demands ahead of the curve. Jason Arnold, director of E-learning, Technology and Communications, has built a high-performing team with a diverse skill set to connect students with faculty and course content in novel and meaningful ways.
“Our faculty and ETC team are engaged in current research in areas of online teaching and assessment practice, student engagement, and interactive media,” he said. “Partnering with other faculty across the university to create learning experiences for diverse audiences continues to provide opportunities to grow in our understanding of learning online.”
According to U.S. News, “a master’s degree in education can help further careers in teaching, instructional design and educational administration.” Programs are ranked based on five general categories: student engagement (30 percent), expert opinion (20 percent), faculty credentials and training (20 percent), student services and technology (20 percent), and student excellence (10 percent).
“Student Affairs’ role has always been to meet students where they are, to help connect them to the various curricular and extra-curricular opportunities that exist and to help them maximize their educational experience,” said Aaron Ganas, academic advisor. “The recognition our college continues to receive is a testament to the resilience, perseverance and optimism our community fosters for itself—students, staff, and faculty.”

Online graduate programs in education at the University of Florida prepare students for the next level in their educational careers by focusing on the application of knowledge, not simply the acquisition of knowledge. Online programs such as Educational Technology, Teacher Leadership, Reading, Computer Science Education, and Teachers, Schools, & Society provide students both theoretical and practical knowledge to improve learning in their own contexts. Almost all our masters students have full time jobs and families so asynchronous learning provides them the flexibility to carve out their optimal learning time.
