For example, even if two teachers both have 6-9 years of experience, a teacher with a bachelor’s degree earns $45,390 while a teacher with a master’s degree earns $52,750, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

According to the  National Council on Teacher Quality , the average teacher with a master’s degree earns an additional $2,760 their first year after graduating. This could grow to $7,358 upon peak career wages. 

Teacher Job Projections

Earning A Master’s Degree Education

A master’s degree in education is a post-undergraduate degree focusing on leadership, curriculum, and instructional development for teachers and/or administrators. While not required for all teachers, a master’s degree can help increase career opportunities, salary potential, and networking options. Teachers also commonly earn advanced degrees in order to fulfill continuing education requirements to renew their teaching certificates and develop their teaching skills.  

Types of Education Master’s Programs

There are two main graduate degrees available to educators: master of arts in teaching (MAT) and master of education (MEd). However, there are other options available including master of arts in teaching (MAT) and master of science in teaching (MST). There is  debate about which degree is best  for specific individuals and career paths but ultimately it is up to you to decide which option is best for your career and goals.

• Integrity and ethical conduct
• Societal and civic responsibilities
• Teaching competence
• Improved communication and interpersonal skills
• Critical and creative thinking

Choosing The Best Online Master’s Degree In Education

An online program might be the best fit for you and your family because of the cost, flexibility, and availability. This type of program is especially promising for those that live in rural areas where there may not be any local in-person graduate programs available. Choosing an online program can be taxing because there are so many options available but it is essential to make sure the program is accredited. 

Teacher Licensure

Teachers are required to hold state licensure and certifications when actively working as an educator. This license proves that an educator has completed certain state-mandated requirements and has passed all state-mandated teaching examinations. Because educators are licensed, it is even more important to make sure that the graduate program is accredited. 

Online vs. On Campus Education Degrees

Oftentimes, educators will have many options for graduate school including online degree options or on-campus options. Determining which fit is best for you and your family is the first step in deciding if a program is right for you or not. 

Many educators opt to complete their  master’s degree online  because online programs are convenient, particularly for working teachers. They offer:

• Flexibility with scheduling
• Convenience to take your class from anywhere at anytime
• Wider range of graduate programs to choose from
• Retain current employment
• Freedom to work at your own pace
• In many cases, a cheaper price tag than on-campus options
• No on campus commute

On-campus options do have a lot of benefits if it is a feasible option for you. These include,

• Face to face learning with professor
• Socialization with like minded professionals
• Consistent schedule
• Establish connections and networking opportunities
• Active discussion opportunities

Graduate programs are usually designed for working professionals. What does this mean? In-person classes are held at night to accommodate teachers’ work schedules and are consistently held on the same night(s) of the week throughout the duration of the program.

Accreditation

Ensuring a graduate program is accredited is key for anyone interesting in pursuing a master’s in education. Accreditation is the process that evaluates graduate programs to determine if it is meeting specific state and national standards. This is a voluntary process but most major universities and colleges are accredited.  According to the U.S. Department of Education, accreditation is meant to:

• Assess the quality of academic programs at institutions of higher education.
• Create a culture of continuous improvement of academic quality at colleges and universities and stimulate general raising of standards among educational institutions.
• Involve faculty and staff comprehensively in institutional evaluation and planning.
• Establish criteria for professional certification and licensure and for upgrading courses offering such preparation.

Accredited programs benefit students in many ways, including, 

• Receive federal financial aid
• Transfer credits towards the program
• Job market competitiveness
• Professional certification and licensure 

There are multiple types of accreditation for graduate-level programs. The  U.S. Department of Education  (ED) and the  Council of Higher Education Accreditation  (CHEA) oversee regional accrediting agencies.

Regional accreditation typically applies to nonprofit, degree-granting institutions. Schools receive regional accreditation from one of seven regional accrediting bodies, determined by where the school is located. The seven regional accrediting bodies are, 

• Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) Western Association of Schools and Colleges
• Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
• Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
• New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)
• Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
• WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)

Applying To Masters In Education Programs

Applying to a master’s in education program can be overwhelming, especially if you are working full time. From gathering references, paying application fees, and submitting undergraduate school transcripts, the application process can be tedious work. However, all schools generally require the same forms and documents for acceptance consideration. 

Remember, before considering applying for a graduate education program, you  MUST  hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. Without this, you will not be able to start a graduate program. 

It’s important to remember that all requirements and prerequisites must be met in order for the graduate school to consider your application for acceptance. Consider making a spreadsheet of all of the documents needed for the applications with deadlines for each graduate program. 

Admission Requirements for Graduate Education Programs

Paying for a master’s in education.

Let’s be honest, graduate school isn’t cheap. Financial assistance options for graduate school can be harder to navigate and might not be as readily available to students as with undergraduate assistance. Most students require financial assistance and that is why it is important to speak to a financial aid representative at the University to understand your options. 

Not everyone will qualify for all the different types of aid that are available but hopefully between scholarships, grants, and federal loans the cost of graduate school will be more manageable. 

It is also important to speak to your employer. Many education systems offer some form of  tuition reimbursement for educators  earning their master’s in education. 

Here’s a more in-depth breakdown of the different types of monetary aid that is available. Remember, research the different types of aid you may be eligible for and apply early. 

Scholarships

A scholarship is an award of financial aid to a student to further their education. This money does not have to be repaid. There are a variety of different types of scholarships. These include

• Merit-based
• Student-specific (gender, race, religion, family, and/or medical history)
• Career-specific
• College-specific

Most scholarships will require letters of recommendation, academic transcripts, and personal essays. Monetary amounts can be as little as $100 to as much as the cost of your education. You can  apply to multiple scholarships  as long as the school is on the approved list. 

Grants are determined by financial need. They can be used to cover the cost of tuition, books, teaching supplies, and educational supplies. When applying for grants they will inform you how they are to be applied towards your education. The amount of money you are eligible to receive depends strictly on your financial situation.

Typically grants do not have to be repaid as long as you graduate with your masters in the allotted amount of time. If you were to drop out there can be incurred costs.

Student Loans

Unlike scholarships and grants, loans must be repaid. Loans incur interest, so you will ultimately repay more than the initial amount of the loan. The exact terms of the loan will depend on the lender and other factors. There are several types of student loans.

The most common loans are Federal Student Loans. Federal student loans are a great option for most students for the following reasons:

• They don’t have to be paid back while you’re in school.
• They charge lower interest than loans from private lenders.
• If you’re having trouble paying back your loan, there are programs you can qualify for to assist you.
• You don’t need any credit history to get a federal student loan.

Two other fairly common loans are direct subsidized loans and direct unsubsidized loans more commonly referred to as Stafford Loans. 

Direct Subsidized Loans

• U.S. Department of Education loan
• Must meet certain income requirements
• Demonstrate financial need
• Government pays interest rate on loan while in schools
• Pay back once graduated

Direct Unsubsidized Loans

• Don’t have to meet income requirements
• Student is responsible for accrued interest

Federal Perkins Loan 

• Very low-income students
• Lender is the education institution
• Meet income requirements
• School must have funds available, limited monetary amounts

Private Student Loans

• From banks and credit unions
• Very high interest rates
• Payments required while in school

Specific job opportunities include educational consultant, educational coordinator at a museum, zoo, and/or aquarium, school counselor, principal, curriculum developer, or content developer.
• This will depend on your career goals! Some careers in education are only available with a master’s degree.
• Typically, a master’s in education will take around two years to complete for a full-time student. Part-time programs are generally three to four years.
• This will also depend on your career goals. If you are interested in becoming a principal and working in administration then a master’s in educational leadership or administration would be ideal; whereas, if you are interested in finding a job as a school counselor then the master’s in school counseling would be a perfect fit. It’s not that one degree is better than the other – it just depends on career goals.

College of Professional Studies

Northeastern University’s online Doctor of Education program provides experienced adult learners, working professionals, and scholar-practitioners from diverse backgrounds and perspectives with the practical knowledge and experience they need to transform the learning landscape. Students gain innovative approaches to create authentic change in their communities. The program was selected as the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate's Program of the Year for 2022-2023.

The Doctor of Education program is designed to be completed in three to four years of study—following a fast-paced quarter system in lieu of a traditional semester format. Students choose from five concentrations to create a curriculum that matches personal and professional interests. The program's dissertation in practice process will begin at the onset of your coursework as you identify your problem of practice and develop an action plan—incorporating cycles of data collection and analysis, collaboration, change work, and reflection—culminating in the dissemination of your action research findings. Our students come from diverse disciplines and professions, seeking more than just a degree. You'll gain a practical education that translates to your everyday working environment.

While all EdD courses can be completed online (except for hybrid courses in Seattle), annual in-person two-day residencies are held on campus. Residencies focus on networking and tools for career success and allow you to connect with faculty and fellow scholars to share knowledge and experience. You'll attend residencies* in your first and second years of the program at one of our campuses in Boston or Seattle.

The Northeastern Doctor of Education degree is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) and was selected as Program of the Year by the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate Program for 2022-2023.

The concentration prepares students to lead and transform educational spaces and be equipped to shape the needs of education in K-12, higher education, organizational contexts, and beyond.
• Workplace Learning: The workplace learning concentration helps professionals gain a deeper understanding of, recognize, and influence real-life social inequalities faced by marginalized populations in the workplace. Courses allow students to advance their professional practice by developing and deepening their knowledge of workplace learning, organizational dynamics, learning strategy, and ethics.
• Integrative Studies: The integrative studies concentration provides an opportunity for students to design a program of study that fits their own professional goals and includes the required foundation and research courses, concentration courses from any EdD concentration, and electives from the Doctor of Education or Doctor of Law and Policy programs.

Program Objectives

Northeastern's Doctor of Education program is designed for experienced professionals interested in deepening their understanding of education, organizational development, and leadership. Throughout the program, students examine various approaches to critical, practice-based issues, learn research methods, and conduct a doctoral research study that investigates a compelling educational or organizational challenge.

2022-2023 Doctor of Education Program of the Year

The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate selected Northeastern's EdD program as the 2022-2023 Program of the Year, noting the “redesigned Dissertation in Practice Curriculum and the adoption of action research as its guiding methodology …” The committee praised “the program’s efforts to move beyond the typical five-chapter dissertation and engage scholarly practitioners in the acquisition of skills to realize meaningful change in their local contexts, emphasizing social justice.”

Is a graduate certificate valuable?

Harvard Extension students most often report pursuing a graduate certificate to deepen their professional expertise and advance in their current career. A certificate is ideal for people attempting to move up in their current field. The courses can be completed on a part-time basis, allowing many to continue working full time. In fact, many students reported achieving their goals while still in the program.

In a survey of 1,000 students who had just completed their certificate program, 42 percent said they took on more responsibilities at work, received a promotion, or changed careers while pursuing the credential. Read more about the value of a graduate certificate .

Can I earn a graduate certificate while earning a master’s degree?

Yes! Earning a graduate certificate can be a great first step toward earning a master’s degree. At Harvard Extension School, 44% of certificate earners choose this route, affording them the benefits of both credentials.

Most of our certificates stack toward at least one Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) degree . You can earn a graduate certificate on your way to a master’s degree by choosing courses required for a certificate that also count toward a related master’s.

For prospective students having trouble deciding between a degree and a certificate, stackable credentials make it easy to start with smaller goals before making the leap to a master’s.
