Overview

This Education - Non-Certification (Online) from the Drexel University looks at how theories of teaching and learning can be applied to careers in other fields, preparing you for roles in areas such as instructional design and education nonprofits. This program does not lead to teaching certification; instead, you will focus on taking the pedagogy-based skills you learn and use them to support education-related initiatives.

While many people who earn an education degree go on to become teachers, a BS in Education can prepare you for a wide array of career opportunities outside the classroom.

Drexel’s online BS in Education: Non-Certification is designed specifically for those who aren’t seeking formal teacher certification, but instead want to work in education-adjacent fields where a working knowledge of pedagogy and a strong education foundation can help you stand out. The degree is built upon the concept of education as a right and will prepare you to work as an advocate for fair and equitable education policies. Graduates may go on to work in education nonprofits, youth advocacy, instructional design, or training and development, among other areas. The program can also prepare you for graduate study.
