Careers in Social Justice EducationGraduates of the SJE Masters, CAGS, and Doctoral concentrations find professional positions in a variety of education-related fields. Graduates who have previous certification as K-12 teachers, counselors, or administrators often return to these or other positions in K-12 education after completing their graduate work.
