    Online Master Programs in Educational Practice

    Many students pursue a master program following their undergraduate degrees to expand their career prospects. Such programs involve higher level studies that develop advanced expertise and skills, valuable within and outside one’s chosen field.

    What is a Master in Educational Practice? This program provides advanced courses on the subject of the theories, practices and techniques of formal education and how to most effectively teach students. The curriculum covers facets of teaching such as the neuroscience of learning, how students may engage with new knowledge, the social and emotional aspects of teaching and effective use of educational technologies. Depending on the program and the student’s goals, courses may focus on administrative roles in improving educational systems.

    Taking a Master in Educational Practice helps build useful career and life skills. Effective communication and organizational skills are common, and students may develop stronger insight into how others function best in a work or learning environment. Leadership and decision making are also emphasized.

    A master program typically lasts one to three years, but the tuition for those years will likely be higher than for undergraduate courses. Costs also vary from one school and program to another, and there may be fees for required textbooks or for distance learning. Consult with the relevant admission office at your schools of interest to learn more.

    Completing a Master in Educational Practice opens up higher employment opportunities within education environments. In public school systems, curriculum developers and principals are responsible for shaping the learning programs implemented within the classroom; within private schools, educational consultants may be hired for similar roles. Coupled with a degree in business, graduates may also seek positions within companies as corporate trainers, developing and refining programs for training new employees.
