Careers and Outcomes
Where a qualification in education leads, and what applicants should verify before relying on one from this University.
Where Graduates in Education Work
Teaching
Elementary and secondary teaching, subject teaching, international schools, and independent and charter schools. Teacher shortages are persistent across much of the United States and internationally.
Licensure is set by each state and generally requires a degree from an accredited institution. Verify the requirement in your state before enrolling.
Educational Administration
Department leadership, deputy and head roles, and program direction. Senior posts normally require a master's degree, for which an undergraduate qualification is the starting point.
Curriculum and Instructional Design
Writing and sequencing educational material for schools, publishers, awarding bodies and educational organizations. A field in which the ability to design assessment is valued as highly as subject knowledge.
Educational Technology
Product, research and learning design roles at organizations building learning platforms and assessment tools. Employers in this field consistently seek people who understand both teaching and software.
Corporate Learning and Development
Designing and delivering training within organizations. Adult learning theory, instructional design and assessment are the substance of the work.
English Language Teaching
Language centers, schools, community programs and online teaching, at home or abroad. The TESOL Certificate is the direct route into this field.
TESOL CertificateWhat to Check Before You Rely on This
The University is not accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. Many teaching posts, most state licensure routes, and a considerable number of graduate programs require a qualification from an accredited institution.
If your intended career depends on licensure, on a particular employer, or on progression to a specific graduate program, establish in advance whether a qualification from this University will satisfy that requirement. Ask the licensing body or the employer directly, in writing, before you enroll.
The Admissions Office will help you frame the question and will tell you where we already know the answer to be no.
