What's a fun university where I can get a Master's in Education?
I have a BA in psychology but I am long-term subbing as a teacher. I need to get my master's iin education somewhere (probably in early childhood) and I'd like to go where the atmosphere is a good place to learn and the area is nice, too. I'm not looking into getting a degree in educational psychology, but education rather. I want to teach in the classroom, so it would be in curriculum and instruction.

I'm not sure there is a website that does exactly that, but there is a national source - http://www.petersons.com You can search by major and by metro area. When I picked "education" as a major, it asked if I was really interested in Adult Education or Art Education or on and on (more than 20 choices). I did a quick search and came up with 43 or so schools in the NYC metro area.

You have to fulfill the specific school's pre requisites which may include education classes. Check with your school of interest's requirements. It depends what area of education as well. Ball State is a pretty popular/generic university for education to give you an idea of education degrees. Side Note: I'm assuming you have experience working in higher education or student development or have worked in administration at a school which has spurred your interest in seeking a doctorate in education. If not, that would be another obstacle and cause contemplation as to why you want to all of the sudden get into education. If you have no experience working in education, you may need to start at the master's level.

Depending on your location there may be some limitations as far as what Master's programs are available. But all things being equal to me it's a matter of "Why do you like administration over the classroom?" If you know the answer to that, then you should be able to figure out which way to go. Personally, if I was in your situation, I would get an MBA because that will help you should you leave the education field.

Every state is a little bit different, but basically the answer is yes. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and I am enrolled in an alternative certification program. Through this process, I still have to take classes, but was able to become certified and begin teaching before I finished the classes. Many people pursue a master's degree in something unrelated to their bachelor's degree, so it's not at all uncommon. You can still get a teaching job if your bachelor's is not related to education and the master's degree will make you more desirable than someone with a bachelor's. The only problem is you may struggle more in the classes since you may not have been taught the basics, but you should still do fine. Good luck!

If you don't mind me suggesting it, there are some "alternate" routes to teaching that are as short as 5 weeks, and get you into a classroom next year. You usually then have to continue on for you Master's degree in Education over your first few years of teaching. And you'll have to be in a poorer school district that is participating. Teach for America is one such program, but it's volunteer (which at least is better than not getting paid and paying for grad school)... There was another one mentioned in the Time magazine article I read last week. About 50% of teachers leave the profession (statistically speaking) within 3 years, so you may be better off taking one of these routes to see if you can and want to teach. (interestingly the statistic is the same, 50% for all regular and alternative certification paths, except TFA, which is lower because of the "volunteer" nature of the candidates) In the Time article they followed 3 new teachers in Memphis. 2 were successful, one whose first career (and degrees) was in Social Work (big surprise, lol), and one who had been a banker. The 3rd was overwhelmed and considering leaving the profession. She had been a military officer before trying her hand at teaching. edit: My Bachelor's degree was a B.S.Ed, and I was still overwhelmed that first year. This is why I'm a big proponent of these alternative certifications. If I'd of decided teaching wasn't for me (I almost did after that first year, but had great success my second year... I guess it just took a year to get a hang of everything for me) I'd of had an Education degree trying to find a job as a banker, or sales manager or something. Since the statistics say 50% will drop out, whether their Bachelor's is in Education, or in another subject like Finance, Engineering, or Pharmacy. . . I tell young kids just to get a degree in something they're passionate about, and do an alternative certification. You may as well have a "fall back" option, with the low success rates of first year teachers.
