      BA Programs in Secondary Education

      A Bachelor of Arts, or BA, is a secondary degree awarded to students wishing to pursue their education in liberal arts or humanities. A student generally must have a high school diploma, senior certificate, or other graduate papers to qualify for a position at a university.

      What is a BA in Secondary Education? Secondary education is a course of study that prepares students to become teachers. Students may study teaching theories, language skills, classroom techniques, and critical thinking. Individuals may also choose to focus on a field of study that may eventually become the courses they specialize in as secondary school teachers, such as ancient history, geography, or social studies.

      Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts degree may find they develop a love of learning, value individuality, and can effectively communicate their thoughts to others. This can help them excel as teachers and may open diverse career paths. They may also become good listeners and excellent speakers.

      College courses are offered at many different universities. For this reason, costs of courses required to obtain a degree may differ as well. To find out what tuitions and fees your chosen institution charges, contact the bursar's office and request enrollment information.

      Graduates with a degree in secondary education are often expected to take positions as schoolteachers when they graduate, but that is not the full picture of what careers they can look forward to pursuing once they get their degree. Some graduates may wish to become librarians in law offices, business libraries, or schools. Others may choose to become writers or editors with a focus on their area of specialization (e.g., history or geography). Other graduates can look forward to careers as instructional coordinators who teach and help implement programs for businesses and their employees.

      Since classes can be found online worldwide, it is easier than ever before to earn a degree. To learn more about which course of study is right for you, search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
