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.

I don't want to master in English or Education but something in the education realm that will be higher than being a teacher.

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.

Questions about education and social work master's
Questions about education and social work master's?
I was a biology major, and switched to sociology, and am minoring in psychology. I hope to grab one more minor before I finish, religion. So I will have my Bachelor's in Sociology, minor in psychology and religion. I will be graduating with a 3.1-3.2. It would have been higher without biology dragging it down. I would have loved to have been a social work and education major, but it didn't work out that way. wasn't meant. I want to do social work and education. I was wondering is there a way I could double major, in social work and education. What jobs are open to me with just a sociology bachelor's? With a social work master's? Eventually if I took a break and wanted to be a middle or high school teacher, how many years of schooling would I need. What kind of degree? Just an education master's. I'm thinking of teaching either english or history, one day.

I'm assuming you are asking about a joint MSW/Med and not doing a second "major"? There is one program that might fit your eclectic interests: http://artsci.wustl.edu/~jines/jointdegree.htm In general if you are going to want to teach you will need a teaching certificate in teaching (in the area and age level) you want to teach in. Doing a joint degree will take 2-3 years. Getting a teaching certificate can usually be done in one year. DA

What are the admission rates to Grad Schools for a Master's in Education?

Of course they vary greatly among schools, but this program is easier for admission than medical school, for example. If you apply to lots of programs, especially those at lesser-known universities, you will probably be admitted to at least one if you have a good academic record and letters of recommendation. Good luck.

If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree
If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree?
I don't know much about how the system works. Since liberal arts doesn't have alot to do with education, is it possible to get admitted into a masters program for education? I want to be a teacher.

It depends. If you want to teach something in the humanities (English, history, etc.), you should have no problem. You don't necessarily have to major in education to be able to get a master's degree in it later, but schools will want to see that you have some sort of background knowledge of the subject matter you want to teach before they admit you.
2
Liberal Arts is a very common major for those interested in education.
3
You should be able to get admitted into a masters program without much trouble. However, some schools might require you to take some extra courses (perhaps undergrad education courses) to fill in some of the gaps that might exist in going from liberal arts to a more specific field. Some schools will probably require extra classes where others won't; it just depends on the admission requirements. However, I don't think you should have any problems getting admitted to a graduate program.
4
"technically" i think you can......it doesn't matter what your major is to get your masters........but i'd think its unlikely without atleast getting some further schooling in a similar subject area.
