Career Opportunities

As both an art and a science, professional teaching requires both practical knowledge of a subject and the ability to convey it to students in understandable ways. The constant development of new technologies and methods requires dedicated teachers to take an active interest in their own education and growth as professionals.

A master’s degree in education is not just for teachers, however. It can apply to a range of careers that do not involve either teaching or school administration such as:

• Counseling
• Educational Technology
• Educational Policy
• Organizational Leadership
• Special Education
