You don’t have to be in the education field directly to reap the benefits of a Master’s Degree in Education. A business career is enhanced when a leader knows how to instruct and lead a team of professionals what’s more, professionals in a wide variety of fields can earn supplemental income through teaching college courses.

To obtain a professional license in the state of Massachusetts, teachers are required to have or be in the process of earning a master’s degree. Eastern Nazarene’s Master’s Degree in education program meets in the evening, allowing teachers with bachelor’s degrees to earn their master’s degree while teaching full-time during the day. The education program not only meets the licensure requirements for the state, but also exceeds them, and advisors work with students through the certification process.
Teaching a Team
Education isn’t just for the classroom, it’s part of life-long learning in the business world. Alumna Patricia Ryan, general manager of Salem Radio Group Boston, is an example of a student who decided she wanted to advance her career through a Master’s Degree in Education so she could understand how to lead and instruct her team.
“As a general manager, I have to teach on a regular basis. I’m in the board room with my sales team, teaching them the latest in economics or the trends in the market… to be able to use what I learned at ENC and my teaching skills has been invaluable.”
Teaching on a Collegiate Level
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most colleges and universities require a minimum of a master’s degree to teach on the collegiate level. With her master’s in hand, Patricia Ryan joined ENC as adjunct faculty in the Business Division, alongside her career as general manager.
