UC IRVINE vs. PENN STATE

<p>Hi guys!
I'm an education major wanting to focus on education reform. Irvine just came out with and Education Science (with concentration on Research + Evaluation) BA and Penn State has an Education and Public Policy BA. Irvine is a UC, definitely cheaper, but still a new program. Penn State is going to be more expensive, but is ranked number 9, and I'll also be far from home. What to do?? I would be a transfer student from a CC, is it worth waiting a year to transfer to Irvine or transferring to Penn State sooner but costing more(30k)? I need any suggestions or advice of which school is a better pick! help! I feel like Penn State major would be more useful, but so would Irvine's, so idk</p>

<p>Get your degree at the less expensive place. Most education programs are set up to fulfill the requirements of the education laws in their own state. </p>
