Teacher Certification/Licensure Programs (Master’s Programs)
These schools offer Master’s programs designed for the individual that already has a bachelor’s degree in a noneducation field and want to start a new career in education as a licensed teacher. Completing a program that meets teaching certification standards for your state along with attaining a master’s degree has an added bonuses as most states offer higher teacher salary for those with a master’s degree. Also most master’s degree programs are only 4-6 months longer than post baccalaureate programs.
