Secondary Teacher Education
The tables below present the occupations that are most commonly associated
with a degree in Secondary Teacher Education. We have separated the tables
depending on whether we examine graduates who stop their education with the
bachelors degree in Secondary Teacher Education, and those who get either a masters
in Secondary Teacher Education, a Ph.D. in Secondary Teacher Education.
While the list above describes the occupations of students with advanced degrees in
Secondary Teacher Education some students with a bachelors degree in Secondary 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 Secondary 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 Secondary Teacher Education Salaries.
Histogram of Secondary Teacher Education Salaries: Bachelors Degree Only
The diagram below includes all students with a major in Secondary Teacher Education who received no degree beyond the bachelors.

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