You need to compare specific programs, not degrees. I got my
Masters of Science Education-TESOL (MSEd-TESOL) degree because
it was best for me. How are you marketing yourself to the
school districts? Figure out what you want first, then compare
schools and programs. Look at length of program, required
classes, comprehensive exams (no thank you!), cost, transfer
in credit option, etc. You should start seeing some points
that are more appealing and others that are less so.

Hope that helps.
