Teach.

You'd be able to teach K-12 school. I'd suggest that you focus your specialities/certifications in an area that works naturally with your undergraduate degree, and teach in that area. I'm thinking special ed, bilingual, etc.

You can be a better teacher and perhaps move into school administration./

Should I get a Masters in education or sociology
Should I get a Masters in education or sociology?
I am currently getting my BA in social science with a concentration in education and I am thinking about a minor in sociology. So I would like to know what I should master in; education or sociology. I do plan on getting my phd in one or the other, but I don't know what would be the best option. I want to be able to be a professor at a college/university teaching sociology. All help would be greatly appreciated.

sociology, especially with specifications with young or old. anything related to baby boomers will be a sure money maker. right now i am majoring in public realtions, but i plan to go to grad school for masters in public health administration so i can run a hospital. hollla!

In order to teach at a decent college or university, you will need a PhD in your field, which would be sociology. Don't bother with a degree in education, they are known for being pretty worthless because education graduate programs are notoriously easy to get into with very low requirements for admission. You might be able to teach community college or a very low-quality school with only a Master's, but if you want to teach at a good college/university just go get your PhD now.

Do you have to have a bachelor's in Education before you can get a Master's in that field
Do you have to have a bachelor's in Education before you can get a Master's in that field?
I have a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and Social Work and I really would love to teach. Can I get a Master's in Education with this or would I have to start over and get a Bachelor's in Education first? Thanks Also, are there ANY online schools that are acceptable enough to get a job teaching high school or middle school?

no you do not have to have a bachelors in education to be a secondary education teacher, you just need the masters in that field (new york state anyway)
2
You can usually go straight for your MA. You may need to take a pre-req or two, but you do not need a BA in education to do an MA (this is true for most fields). You do need to make sure that you pick up a teaching credential for your state - each state is different - Now many traditional brick and mortar schools will have online or distance options for their education program (they design programs for current teachers). Be careful of the major online schools (e.g. phoenix) which may not prepare you for state license. Since you have a BSW you might also consider doing an MSW with a focus on school social work. DA

I had a BA in a biology field prior to earning my masters in curriculum. So no, another BA is not necessary. about online schools: You will have to check with your state. Each state must approve of any program. One of the problems is that all states require a student teaching portion. Online schools often do not have a presence in the state to place you and give individual feedback that is needed in student teaching.
4
Your Bachelors and Masters do not have to match. To teach, you don't need a Master's, but rather teaching certification. Some programs combine the certification and Master's. If you do not have a Bachelor's in an education field, you may need to go back and get one, unless you want to teach Criminal Justice and Social Work. There are many online schools. My coworker got her credential through University of Phoenix. We live in CA.

Is a Masters in Education degree easy to be obtained
Is a Masters in Education degree easy to be obtained?
I am currently live in NYC and I am currently finishing up my Masters in Education and Special Education degree. While doing the degree I really did not find it to be hard so I was wondering if it was the school I attend. I also found other people who completed their Masters in Education at other schools found it not to be challenging. I was wondering if a Master in Education on a whole is a easy degree to obtained? Thanks

You did not specify if it is the MEd or the MSEd. No matter. Let me put it this way. Get credential, pass state licensing board exams, get job. get job to pay for SSA or PhD (the EdD is a waste of time) then get promoted. Simple. As long as your degree is accredited, dont worry about how 'easy' it was for you. I found my PhD in education to be easy (classes anyway) but some of my peers found it hard. maybe you just 'get it' quicker.

You are wise to realize that your choice of major will affect what you can do at the Master's level. If possible, contact a few universities which offer the Master's in counseling and development and find out what the entrance requirements are. Do they require a bachelor's in specific fields, or will they accept a wide range? Obviously, if most schools tell you that you will need a Bachelor's in sociology, for example, in order to get accepted into the Master's program you are interested in, then the choice has been made for you, and you start taking sociology classes. If, on the other hand, a wide variety of majors is accepted, then it would be wise to choose something you are curious about and give it a try. It is relatively simple to change your major in undergraduate school, as long as you don't wait too long or do it too often, so this is your opportunity to take a chance on something you are interested in.

Instructional Technology because that way you can improve technology for the learning process. Educational Psychology because you can study the behavior of teacher and learner in a learning environment. Communication Disorders because you can diagnose and treat a variety of hearing and speech disorders in children. Athletic Training of a well known university to help treat athletes with various injuries during a game.
