Our graduates find professional success in classrooms, clinics, nonprofits, boardrooms, and beyond. These are just a few examples of the many jobs in education.
Teachers are the backbone of the education system, setting students up for success from learning their colors to choosing a college. No matter the subject or grade, teachers inspire students to discover their strengths and passions while growing into well-rounded, educated individuals.
Athletic trainers support professional and student athletes with injury treatment and preventative care. They work alongside coaches, doctors, and students’ families to educate on injury management, rehabilitation methods, and best practices to ensure the long-term wellbeing of their athletes.
Education researchers help those in the classroom succeed by analyzing curriculum, teaching methods, learning styles, the challenges facing today’s students and families, and more. They are strategic, critical thinkers who work out of a desire to nurture inquisitive minds.
Youth program coordinators oversee activities that transform young lives. Whether they work in schools, summer camps, places of worship, nonprofits, or other settings for child development, they know that consistently showing up can make all the difference in a young person’s life trajectory.
