Careers in Education

With a Master of Education degree, professionals have a historical, philosophical, theoretical, and research-based influence on their education and teaching.  The Master of Education degree can be used as a gateway to teaching at the college or university level or as preparation for leadership or administrative roles, such as learning the skills to become a guidance counselor or principal.  This degree is also an indication that the individual is focused on developing his/her skills in teaching even further, has the knowledge and understanding of select content areas, has done research in education and related fields, and is capable of providing effective leadership for curricular and instructional programs in elementary, secondary, and other educational settings.
