Types of Teaching & Education Degrees

Associate’s Degree in Education

An associate’s degree in education is a 2-year undergraduate program that explores the fundamentals of teaching. Most students obtain this as the initial step towards a bachelor’s degree or as a qualification for teacher assistant jobs. However, you must have an accredited bachelor’s degree in order to become a licensed teacher.

Degree Options

  • Associate of Arts (AA) in Education: Incorporates humanities courses into the curriculum. A good choice for students interested in eventually earning a BA in Education and teaching humanities (e.g. English, history, foreign language, etc.)
  • Associate of Science (AS) in Education: Incorporates more mathematics and science courses than the AA. A good choice for students interested in eventually earning a BS in Education and teaching science and math.

Coursework

In addition to general education courses, a strong associate’s degree will ground you in educational theory and practice. For example, the curriculum may include classes on human development, literacy and learning and teaching theory.

Career Opportunities

Without a teaching license, your choices are fairly limited in the public system. You do have the option to become a teacher assistant, and help preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers. As a teacher assistant, you can supervise play time, manage students and escort children to classes. But you will not be able to teach in a public school.

Note: To ensure your course credits will be transferable to a bachelor’s degree, it’s advisable to earn your AA or AS from a regionally accredited school.

Bachelor’s Degree in Education

A bachelor’s degree in education is a 4-year undergraduate program and the minimum requirement to teach public school as a licensed teacher. If you’re interested in teaching, you have 2 options:

  1. Earn an accredited bachelor’s degree in education and specialize in a subject area (e.g. math, special education, etc.)
  2. Obtain a bachelor’s degree in your chosen subject area and complete a state-approved teacher training program.

We cover the first option below. Graduates who already hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and wish to teach often go down the route of Alternative Teacher Certification.

Degree Options

  • Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Elementary Education: Incorporates humanities courses. This education degree is designed for students interested in teaching K-5.
  • Bachelor of Science (BS) in Elementary Education: Incorporates more science and math courses than the BA. This education degree is also designed for students interested in teaching K-5.
  • Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Secondary Education: Targeted towards candidates who wish to teach humanities subjects (e.g. English, history, foreign language, etc.) to middle and high school students.
  • Bachelor of Science (BS) in Secondary Education: Targeted towards candidates who wish to teach math and science to middle and high school students.

Sample Concentrations

If you’re not interested in elementary or secondary school education, you will also find bachelor’s degrees that allow you to specialize in fields such as:

Coursework

No matter which degree you choose, most curricula will include general education requirements (e.g. science, psychology, etc.) and core teaching/educational courses. This “core” may cover topics such as instructional strategies, human development, teaching and assessment methods, instructional technology, special education, learning theories and curriculum development.

Throughout your degree, you will be expected to participate in both group projects and individual assignments. To prepare you for your career, you will also be required to complete practical fieldwork (i.e. teacher training) under a licensed teacher.

Career Opportunities

A bachelor’s degree is the first step towards earning a teacher license. With your license in hand, you have a variety of options. You may wish to teach at:

  • Public schools
  • Montessori schools
  • Charter schools for gifted or special needs children
  • Vocational and occupation programs

You may not need a license to teach at private or charter schools. A bachelor’s or master’s degree from a respected school and teaching experience can sometimes be enough.

Wondering how to improve your chances of finding a job after graduation? Seek out opportunities to volunteer in educational situations (e.g. camp counseling, sport coaching, tutoring, teaching English abroad, etc.) and hone your skills (e.g. foreign language, musical instrument, etc.). Schools love anything that will add extra value to your teaching. Throughout the 4 years, fit in as much practical work as you can.

Master’s Degree in Education

A master’s degree in education is a 2-3 year graduate program that builds on educational foundations laid in the bachelor’s degree. Accelerated programs will only take 12-18 months to complete. Some schools offer programs where you can earn your master’s and complete licensure requirements at the same time. If you already have a bachelor’s in another subject (e.g. science) and are interested in licensure, you may also wish to investigate Alternative Teacher Certification Programs.

Many students choose to pursue a master’s in order to earn more money, focus on a specialization, qualify for school leadership positions and expand their career options.

Two important things to note:

  • It’s not necessary to hold a master’s degree in order to become a teacher (a bachelor’s degree will do), but some schools may require you earn it after you’ve completed a certain amount of years of teaching.
  • A master’s degree is often a prerequisite for specialized/advanced teacher licensure (e.g. administration, school counseling, etc.).

Degree Options

  • Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT): A practical teaching degree for candidates thinking about initial teacher licensure or looking to earn a specific endorsement (e.g. advanced track MAT program for math). If you’re interested in the MAT, look for accredited programs that are recognized by your state department of education.
  • Master of Education (MEd): A practitioner’s degree intended for teachers who already possess initial licensure and wish to advance to leadership roles (e.g. principalship, superintendency) or positions that require specialization (e.g. school counseling, curriculum and instruction, instruction technology, etc.).
  • Master of Arts (MA) in Education: A research-based degree that can be used as preparation for a doctorate or as a foundation for research work. Students are generally required to complete a master’s thesis.
  • Master of Science (MS) in Education: Similar to the MA, but with more of a focus on science areas.

Sample Concentrations

Since the MAT is focused on teacher licensure, you may not have the opportunity to specialize too deeply. However, the MEd will have a huge range of concentrations, including:

Coursework

To get you up to speed for licensure, MAT courses will focus on pedagogical theory and implementation, hands-on practical classroom skills and specific subjects.

To help you prepare for leadership positions, MEd courses may cover more advanced areas such as policy, classroom management, teaching and learning theory, educational leadership and more. Colleges of Education often divide the MEd into 3 major categories:

  • Curriculum & Instruction: Intended for teachers interested in educational theory and climbing the career ladder. Coursework may focus on topics such as curriculum design and evaluation, teacher leadership and human development.
  • Counselor Education: Intended for those interested in becoming a guidance counselor or mental health professional in a school. (One caveat: mental health roles often have their own set of licensing requirements.)
  • Educational Administration: Intended for budding principals and higher level administrators. Coursework will examine topics such as faculty leadership, community, educational law and so forth.

Career Opportunities

Graduates with a master’s degree have a huge range of options. They may wish to apply for leadership positions both within the school (e.g. head of department, school counselor, principal, etc.) and without (e.g. superintendent). They might consider becoming curriculum developers, educational consultants, corporate adult educators or administrators within a college or university. However, be warned that competition is usually quite stiff for these roles. So incorporate as much practical experience as you can into your degree.

Non-Licensure Graduate Certificate in Education

A graduate certificate in education is a short, non-degree program (~6 months to 1 year) that focuses on specific skills in education. Similar to a “minor” in the bachelor’s program, a graduate certificate is cheaper and faster than a master’s program and has the potential to enhance your résumé and improve your job opportunities. Some students use them to build up course credits for a master’s degree.

However, a non-licensure graduate certificate is not the same as an add-on certificate/endorsement program. Keep an eye on the academic catalog. Good schools will clearly state which certificates lead to endorsement or advanced licensure and which do not.

Also, graduate certificates by themselves do not qualify you to become a certified/licensed teacher. To obtain your teacher’s license, you should consider earning an accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree, or participating in an alternative teacher certification program.

Sample Concentrations

We’ve listed some of the most popular concentrations, but there are many, many more.

  • Educational leadership
  • Instructional design & technology
  • Literacy and reading specialist
  • Special education
  • International education

Coursework

Since most certificates are specialized, coursework will depend on your area of interest.

Add-On Certificate/Endorsement Program

Add-on certificates and endorsement programs are designed for licensed teachers who wish to teach in a new field (e.g. TESOL, special education, etc.), subject area (e.g. science) or grade level (e.g. elementary school after teaching high school) and have this skill endorsed on their teaching license. These programs are not the same as non-licensure graduate certificates.

Many universities now offer add-on certificates and endorsement programs. But before you sign on the dotted line, check the fine print. To earn an endorsement on your teaching license, your program must be approved by your state.

Coursework

To prepare you for licensure exams, the curriculum may combine traditional courses with fieldwork and classroom practicums. The coursework itself will depend on your area of concentration. For example, a subject area endorsement program could look at topics such as teaching and learning methods, educational theory and curriculum design and evaluation.

Test-Only Option

Here’s the good news. Depending on your state, you may not need to go through an approved program to earn an endorsement on your teaching license. You may only need to pass a subject exam (e.g. a science teacher wishing to teach math).

However, for specialized areas (e.g. administration, school counseling, special education), most state departments of education will insist that you complete an approved university or college program.

Educational Specialist Degree

Designed for working professionals, the Education Specialist (EdS) is a degree that takes 1-2 years to complete. Candidates must usually hold a master’s degree and have teaching experience in order to apply.

The EdS falls somewhere between a master’s and a doctoral degree in length and effort. You may wish to earn it as a step towards pursuing an EdD or PhD, to advance your career and/or qualify for a pay raise. Some EdS graduates use the degree to provide professional training and development or design educational programs for teachers and the private sector.

Sample Concentrations

  • Early education
  • Elementary education
  • Secondary education
  • Higher education
  • School counseling
  • Educational leadership
  • School psychology
  • Superintendent training
  • Curriculum and instruction
  • Instructional technology

Coursework

The curriculum will typically cover educational theory, policy, practice and advanced research methods. For example, your core courses may include teaching and learning theory, curriculum instruction and design, leadership and educational psychology.

Career Opportunities

Sample jobs for EdS graduates include:

  • Leadership role in a public school (e.g superintendent, principal)
  • District curriculum director
  • Assessment director
  • Educational specialist/administrator in the government sector
  • Teacher at a junior college
  • Curriculum specialist/developer
  • School psychologist (learn more about school psychology degrees)
  • School administrator and policy developer

Doctoral Degree in Education

A doctoral degree in education is a 4-7 year program focused on advanced research and practice. It is the highest educational qualification students can achieve. Unless they are enrolled in a combined master’s/PhD program, candidates must hold a master’s degree.

You may wish to pursue a doctorate if you’re interested in top leadership positions, policy work, teaching at the university level or deep-level research.

Degree Options

  • Doctor of Education (EdD): A practitioner’s degree focused on the practical application of existing research. Candidates may be expected to create a substantial research project in order to graduate.
  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Education: A theory-based degree focused on original research. Candidates are generally expected to present their findings in a dissertation.

Sample Concentrations

  • Early childhood education
  • Adult education
  • Higher education
  • Educational psychology
  • Special education
  • Information technology
  • Curriculum research
  • Leadership, administration and educational policy

Coursework

A doctoral degree is usually split into 3 parts:

  1. First year/s: Hard-core educational courses (e.g. advanced research and learning theory, educational leadership, curriculum and instruction, educational philosophy) and written exams
  2. Middle year/s: Advanced seminars designed to help you choose a topic for dissertation and design your research
  3. Final years: Independent research and PhD dissertation or EdD project

Career Opportunities

Your career options will often depend on your choice of degree.

For example, an EdD graduate might wish to become a:

  • School superintendent
  • Curriculum director
  • Educational policy maker
  • Researcher
  • Director of educational programs in the private sector

A PhD graduate may be more interested in work as a:

  • University professor
  • Teacher educator
  • Educational theorist
  • Educational specialist

Alternative Teacher Certification Programs

Alternative teacher certification programs (a.k.a. Transition to Teaching Programs) were created to address the U.S. shortage of teachers. They are designed for graduates who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a subject other than education and are interested in initial teacher licensure.

You’ll find a lot of these programs focused on high-need areas (e.g. math, science, rural and urban school districts, etc.). There are also alternative teacher certification programs that lead to a master’s degree. Just make sure they meet your state licensing criteria.

 Coursework

Coursework usually includes the fundamentals of any good education degree (e.g. education theory and hands-on practice) but focuses heavily on practicums and educational mentoring from experienced teachers.

Teach for America

Teach for America is not an alternative teacher certification program as such. However, some TFA programs will arrange with local colleges and universities so you can take courses required to gain a teaching license or earn a master’s degree. As always, we recommend you check with your state department of education – you may have to enroll in a 3rd party alternative certification program to become a teacher.

Important Accreditations

Regional Accreditation

If you wish to become a teacher, we strongly recommend you attend a college or university with regional accreditation. This is a “seal of approval” granted to non-profit and public institutions by one of six regional accrediting bodies (e.g. New England Association of Schools and Colleges).

You can learn more about the difference between national accreditation, regional accreditation and diploma mills in Accreditation: Understanding the Difference Between Real Schools and Diploma Mills.

Benefits of Regional Accreditation

Although a nationally-accredited degree may be cheaper, it’s going to cost you down the line. That’s because a degree with regional accreditation is usually required to:

  • Qualify for teacher licensure (when state departments of education talk about “accredited schools”, this is what they mean!)
  • Transfer credits (many regionally-accredited institutions will not accept course credits from nationally-accredited schools)
  • Apply for student loans, scholarship, tuition reimbursement and funding opportunities
  • Be accepted to regionally-accredited graduate schools

Regional accreditation is only granted to the school – it doesn’t focus on individual subjects or degrees. If you’re interested in the quality of the education program, you can also see whether it has CAEP/NCATE/TEAC accreditation.

CAEP (NCATE + TEAC)

In 2013, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) merged into one organization for accrediting teacher education programs. It is called the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

Eventually all programs currently accredited by NCATE and TEAC will be accredited by CAEP when they come up for accreditation renewal. In the meantime, you can look for NCATE or TEAC on the university’s website.

Is Program Accreditation Necessary?

No. However, NCATE or TEAC accreditation does show that an education program meets a series of quality standards. If you’re thinking about an unaccredited program, make sure it has high graduate placement numbers and a solid reputation within the teaching field.

Licensure & Certification

How to Get a State Teaching License

To become a licensed teacher, you must obtain a teaching license issued by your state education agency, department or board of education. Confusingly, the terms “teacher certification” and “teacher licensure” are used interchangeably in the field of teaching. They mean the same thing.

Find your State Department of Education.

Initial Teaching License

Each state has its own particular requirements for the initial teaching license. For the most part, you will be expected to:

  • Earn a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university
  • Pass a state-administered exam (e.g. Praxis)
  • Complete a state-approved supervised teaching training program and be recommended by the program for licensing
  • Participate in periodic testing and continuing education (CE) courses to maintain your license

Advanced Licenses

Many states have a graduated licensing structure. This allows you to advance your license (e.g. apprentice to professional) after you’ve gained a certain amount of years of experience.

States also have separate requirements for specialized licenses such as:

  • School administration (e.g. an accredited graduate degree plus work experience)
  • Trade and industry (e.g. specific work experience plus a GED)
  • School personnel (e.g. a school counselor license might require a master’s degree in school counseling)

Endorsement

In order to specialize in a new grade level (e.g. teaching elementary school after secondary school), subject (e.g. teaching English as well as math) or area of interest (e.g. school counseling, library media, special education, etc.), some teachers choose to complete an endorsement. This is an additional descriptor that is added to the license. You may able to earn an endorsement during the course of your degree or afterwards by completing an add-on endorsement program.

Reciprocity

Many states have reciprocity agreements with other departments of education. This allows teachers to move freely between states. For example, if you’re certified to teach in X state, you could also teach in Y state without having to go through a separate licensure/certification process.

Alternatives to the Bachelor’s Degree in Education

It is possible to become a teacher if you don’t hold a bachelor’s degree in education, but you should check with individual states for precise requirements. Many students in this situation go through Alternative Teacher Certification Programs or earn a master’s degree specifically focused on teacher licensure (e.g. MAT).

Voluntary Certification

After earning your teaching license, which is mandatory to teach in public schools, you might wish to seek voluntary certification from independent organizations like the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). NBTPS offers board certification to teachers, school counselors and school media specialists. These demonstrate that educators have advanced knowledge, skills and practices.

Voluntary Certification vs. Licensure

Voluntary certifications may burnish your résumé, but they won’t help you become a certified/licensed teacher. It’s confusing because the terms “teacher certification” and “teacher licensure” are used interchangeably by many people.

Just remember that your state department of education or agency is the only body that can approve you as a certified teacher and grant you an official license to teach.
