Elementary Teacher Education
The tables below present the occupations that are most commonly associated
with a degree in Elementary Teacher Education. We have separated the tables
depending on whether we examine graduates who stop their education with the
bachelors degree in Elementary Teacher Education, and those who get either a masters
in Elementary Teacher Education, a Ph.D. in Elementary Teacher Education.
While the list above describes the occupations of students with advanced degrees in
Elementary Teacher Education some students with a bachelors degree in Elementary Teacher Education will get advanced
degrees in other fields. The tables listed below descibe the types of advanced degrees
that were chosen by students with a bachelors in Elementary Teacher Education.
Since all of the above tables present information on the average salary,
it is possible to lose sight of the fact that some majors place students
in jobs with a narrow range of salaries near to the mean while others
place students in many different income categories. For this reason,
we have drawn two frequency distributions (histograms) of Elementary Teacher Education Salaries.
Histogram of Elementary Teacher Education Salaries: Bachelors Degree Only
The diagram below includes all students with a major in Elementary Teacher Education who received no degree beyond the bachelors.

The data includes students who subsequently earned degrees beyond the bachelors.
