Bachelor Degree in Education
Change Your Life--And the World--With a Bachelor Degree in Education
Teachers and other educators wake up each day knowing that they're changing the world a little bit at a time. If you want to make a difference, consider a bachelor degree in education. This degree will prepare you to pursue an interesting and fulfilling career in the field of education, or give you practical skills you can apply in many other fields.
A bachelor degree program in education will teach you the theory and practice of learning and teaching. It will also teach you how to do educational research and about educational administrative and support services. Bachelor degree programs may include classroom observations or even some practical teaching or tutoring experience.
Many education students focus on one specialty that interests them. For instance, you could specialize in early childhood or elementary education and learn about developmental psychology and how children learn reading, writing, mathematics, and language skills. You could also focus on secondary education in a specific content area, such as biology, business, or history.
Careers in Teaching and Beyond
A bachelor degree in education will prepare you for teacher certification and for advanced educational studies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects excellent job opportunities for teachers as large numbers of older teachers retire.
Bachelor degree holders can begin a wide range of other education-related careers, as counselors, educational administrators, librarians, or social workers, among many others. This degree also gives students key skills to help them launch careers in human resources, development, corporate training, and other business fields.
