According to U.S. News and the National Council on Teacher Quality, WGU has the best secondary teacher preparation program for 2014. In your face distance education doubters!

For elementary education, WGU ranks #16. That's not bad for a 100% online school that is competing against brick and mortar programs.

There are tabs on that page for elementary and secondary ratings. The rankings put both graduate and undergraduate rankings together. The differences can be quite large. For example, in secondary teacher preparation, the University of Houston is ranked 23 for its undergraduate program and 247 for its graduate program. For elementary teacher preparation, undergraduate is 7 and graduate is 22.

I think they mixed graduate and undergraduate because preparation programs for both have the same goal: initial licensure.
