High-quality instruction

Our online programs provide the same rigorous curriculum and high-quality instruction as our on-Grounds programs, but with a more flexible structure that's carefully designed to bring the UVA School of Education and Human Development experience online — so you can earn your degree on your terms.

Caring faculty

Many courses are taught by UVA EHD full-time faculty, and others by experienced working professionals. Our small class sizes, caring professors and interactive technology make sure that every student is engaged with a community of faculty and students to support them every step of the way.

Affordable tuition

We offer the same lower-than-average online tuition rate for both in-state and out-of-state students, as well as discounted tuition for PreK-12 educators.
