Master\u2019s programs provide teachers with the foundation they\u2019ll need to take on leadership roles in their school, should administrative careers be of interest to them. Teachers with graduate degrees in education can also expect higher starting salaries and higher earning potential over the course of their careers. Some graduate programs help teachers cultivate expertise in a particular area of study, which can be highly valuable for educators today. With all of these benefits in mind, it\u2019s clear why you might pursue a graduate degree in education. If you are exploring your options, here are four types of advanced degrees to consider in this field:<\/p>\n<p><strong> Master\u2019s Degree in Education (M.Ed.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-education\/masters-in-education-med\">master\u2019s in Education (M.Ed.)<\/a> is an ideal program for students who either hold teacher certification or not, but are interested in becoming experts in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This program does not lead to certification, but is a great program for students interested in honing their teacher leadership and social justice skills. A master\u2019s in Education is typically a one-year course of study offered online.<\/p>\n<p><em>Curriculum examples<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Curriculum theory<\/li>\n<li>Effective learning environments<\/li>\n<li>Leading professional learning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Career outcomes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Students who graduate with an M.Ed. are prepared to enhance their careers in teaching using UDL and apply this framework in the classroom, increasing access to learning regardless of physical, cognitive, intellectual, and organizational barriers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Master\u2019s degree in Elementary Education (M.S.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-education\/masters-elementary-education-ms-sixth-year-certificate\">master\u2019s degree in Elementary Education<\/a> prepares students for a career working as an elementary school teacher. The curriculum centers around elementary teaching subjects such as social studies, math, science, and reading. Some programs also offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-education\/secondary-education-ms-sixth-year-certificate\/tuition-paid-internship\">tuition-paid internship<\/a> that gives students the in-person, practical experience they need to become expert teachers. Graduates are also well prepared for the Praxis II exam for elementary school teachers, which is required for certification.<\/p>\n<p><em>Curriculum examples<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Special education<\/li>\n<li>Curriculum building<\/li>\n<li>Differentiated instruction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Career outcomes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Graduates of this master\u2019s degree program are ideal candidates to teach in elementary education. Master\u2019s degree holders can expect a high starting salary as they\u2019ll have developed a specialized expertise in the education of elementary school aged children. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/education-training-and-library\/kindergarten-and-elementary-school-teachers.htm\">Elementary school teachers<\/a> can expect to earn an average of $60,660 per year, however master\u2019s degree holders are likely to earn more than the national average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Master\u2019s degree in Secondary Education (M.S.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Those interested in teaching students in grades 4-12 should consider pursuing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-education\/masters-secondary-education-ms-sixth-year-certificate\">master\u2019s degree in Secondary Education<\/a>. This degree path prepares students to specialize in a specific branch of secondary education, such as English, history, or mathematics. Students in this program will be prepared to plan lessons according to state and national guidelines. Graduates will also be prepared to pass the Praxis II content knowledge exam for secondary subject areas.<\/p>\n<p><em>Curriculum examples<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lesson planning<\/li>\n<li>Remedial reading<\/li>\n<li>Advanced instructional methods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Career outcomes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earning a master\u2019s degree in Secondary Education prepares students to teach in a specific subject area at the high school level. Graduates with this degree can also work as instructional coordinators to manage a high school\u2019s curriculum and create learning materials. Additionally, master\u2019s degree holders can work in adult literacy programs to help adult learners earn their high school diploma. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes252031.htm\">average salary for secondary education professionals<\/a> is $67,340, though master\u2019s degree holders can expect to earn more over the course of their career than teachers who only hold a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctoral degree in Education Leadership (Ed.D.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A doctoral degree in Educational Leadership is ideal for students who are interested in becoming school administrators, education researchers, and educational leaders. This program typically takes four years to complete, however many students choose to take additional credits in order to earn an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-education\/educational-administration-supervision-sixth-year-certificate\"><em>Education Administration and Supervision Sixth-Year Certificate<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> Students in this program conduct research and attend leadership-centered courses that are designed to prepare them for a career in positions of leadership.<\/p>\n<p><em>Curriculum examples<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>School law<\/li>\n<li>Supervision\/evaluation of personnel<\/li>\n<li>Organizational management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Career outcomes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Graduates of this program are prepared for a multitude of careers in educational leadership. These positions can include school principal, superintendent, school president, academic dean, and more. The earning potential for Ed.D. graduates is higher than other graduate degrees in education. As an example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/management\/postsecondary-education-administrators.htm#tab-2\">education administrators<\/a> make an average salary of $97,500 per year.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional certifications<\/h2>\n<p>Students looking to add professional certifications to their resume, in addition to their graduate-level degree, should consider adding a certificate program to their course of study.
