WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Graduate school is an investment of time, money and energy, and for that reason, it is critical that you choose a respected, quality graduate education program that is going to have predictable ROI.
Below are a few of the top things to look for when seeking out a graduate program in teaching and education.
VERSATILE COURSES
Choose a program that will give you flexibility to get the teaching credentials you need plus a master’s degree at the same time. By doing so, you will have additional options for customizing and augmenting your degree program, enabling you to become an expert in the specific area of education that you’re passionate about.
RENOWNED FACULTY
The faculty teaching your education courses will be paramount to your success. Be sure to choose a program that employs faculty members with industry, on-the-ground experience. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of establishing a network of industry professionals who can guide you during and after your time in the program.
ROBUST ALUMNI NETWORK
Pinpoint an education program (and a university) that fosters a strong alumni network. These connections will follow you post graduation and will help you make industry connections, learn about professional development opportunities and more.
