English education - M.Ed. programs
You can prepare for a variety of professions within the field
of English education. While most students pursue a career in
secondary settings or high school teaching, others in the program
have gone on to teach composition at the community college level
or to serve as school curriculum coordinators. Some have structured
their studies to include specialty concentrations in theater,
film and media studies, evaluative studies, remedial reading,
literature for adolescents, and journalism. Each year, more
than 90 percent of the College's graduates in this field find
jobs in middle school or high school teaching positions.

and to support struggling adolescent readers.
