About This Area of Study

In their simplest sense, these programs focus on the practice of teaching and learning. That could be in a classroom, as is the case with teachers, counselors and even school administrators, or outside a school setting, working with children and families to connect them with food and nutrition education, social work or housing.

What You Can Expect to Do

Empowering others is at the core of this area of study. As an educator, you might help shape young minds into tomorrow’s leaders. As a social services professional, your lessons and assistance may not lead to a degree, but you are helping people to thrive nevertheless.

Making School More Affordable With the Military

We get it: It seems like college is more expensive every year. The good news is there are ways to make it more affordable, including serving for a set period in the Military, which can cover up to 100% of the cost through its generous Tuition Assistance programs. Oh, and you don’t have to put your schooling on hold to do it.
