Accelerated programs can lead to master’s in education careers
Posted on 8/24/2010
In an effort to encourage math and science professionals to spread their knowledge to young students, some graduate schools are launching new courses of study that will help these individuals earn a master's degree in teaching quickly.
For instance, the University of Delaware recently unveiled its Master of Arts in Teaching program, which will enable enrollees to earn an advanced degree in as few as 12 months, UDaily reports.
This accelerated option was designed for students who have already gained experience in a math- or science-related field and are seeking a career change. Recent graduates of bachelor's programs in these subjects are also eligible to apply.
Similar courses of study may be ideal for individuals who wish to teach but are not confident in their instructional abilities, as many of these tracks place degree seekers in a real classroom as part of their coursework. As a result, these individuals may be less nervous when they are hired to lead their own groups of young learners.
Master's programs in education may also prove to be beneficial to working teachers, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that these professionals are likely to earn pay raises after they have obtained a graduate degree.
