Advanced Degrees
You
might want to include a master’s degree in your future plans. An
advanced degree sets an educator apart from his colleagues when
it’s promotion time, and most Texas school districts pay
educators with master’s degrees more than those with bachelor’s
degrees. Plus, a master’s degree is typically required for
administrator positions.
The
U.S.
Department of Education has information to help you begin
planning for an advanced degree.
Distance learning programs
- Continue your education
without setting foot in a classroom. Students in distance
learning programs acquire knowledge and skills using online
classroom environments, teleconferencing and other technology.
- The cost is comparable to
traditional college tuition.
- As long as the distance
learning program is accredited, a degree earned in this
non-traditional way is as marketable as any other.
Find
out if the program you’re interested in is accredited by one of
the six major regional accrediting associations recognized by
the U.S. Department of Education. Texas’ regional accrediting
body is the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
