Have you not looked at US News and World Report rankings? Columbia University, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Harvard are a few that they list as having the best education programs. I did a google search and found the information on the net. UNC CH is ranked 23 after Kansas.

is there a reason why you want to get into the best education program?

if you are just going to be a classroom instructor I'd look for value more than anything

Seconded. I know a school that has a great bilingual ed program - but if that's not what you're into you'll hate it, regardless of its ranking.

Chateuse,
I hate to recommend this, but the infamous US News and World Report has the top 10 schools online. Use the list as a starting point, but be careful not to buy too much into the actual numbers rankings. They are meaningless to insiders trying to produce good scholarship.

Would you be interested in something like Educational Sociolinguistics? The University of New Mexico has a program in that. I never studied in it so I can't say whether it's good or not, obviously.
