I want to get a master's degree in the USA. I have a bachelor's in an unrelated field, but would like to pursue an education Masters. what do you do in classes? online's not an option.

Hi Raindance

Course content will vary a bit between individual programmes, but I imagine a Masters in education would include some combination of formal training (in classes or workshops) with practical training and placements.

The exact balance will probably depend on whether the programme is a professional qualification (allowing you to work as a teacher in the US education system) or a more academic programme, focussing on pedagogical theory and practice.

There's a general guide to studying a Masters in the USA over at FindAMasters.com:

Another good source of advice is the Fulbright commission - they help international postgraduates looking to study in the US:
Perhaps others will be able to give you more specific advice on American education programmes.

Hope that helps and best of luck!
