Or, having completed development to the level of a degree, practitioners may want to continue attaining credentials or certifications that will further their standing or advance their careers. This article provides information about some programs that may be of interest in such cases.
When deciding on pursuing a degree, closely consider courses provided and learn about notable faculty to determine if the program best aligns with your professional goals. Some programs may be more well-suited for K-12 educators, whereas others may be better suited for those in business or government settings.
