General Education

A degree in General Education will allow you to pursue a variety of exciting career paths. Not only will you be able to teach in both private and public schools, or advance to college and university-level positions, you can also use your new skill set to take advantage of alternative work as a tutor or a corporate trainer.

A passion for helping others is integral to your success, as are good written and oral communication skills. General Education programs offer an overview of curriculum development, instructional methods, and educational psychology, and include a myriad of other interesting and enriching topics.

Teachers can work with toddlers, young children, teens, and adults in any number of settings, which is one of the perks that make this field so appealing. If you want to become an Education Administrator in the near future, a General Education degree is the ideal place to start. In addition to a college degree, public schools also require a license in order to teach.

The Department of Labor reports that Education is the second largest industry in the U.S. today, and that it is an arena that is expected to grow. There is a projected growth through the next decade of 11% with even more jobs set to open up for K-12 and alternative educators.
