Adding graduate study to a full-time job can certainly be a challenge, especially for teachers. If you have been waiting for the right time or circumstances to earn your master’s, consider learning online. Many teachers find that balancing work and school is much easier in A-State online MSE programs, since courses tend to have weekly readings and assignments rather than ongoing deadlines. Your study schedule can be as flexible as you need it to be.

In fact, the core skills you bring to your work as a teacher—such as organization and time management—will help you thrive in an online graduate program. Your ability to collaborate and communicate as a teacher will also give you an advantage in working with A-State professors and classmates online as you advance your career with a master’s in education.
