Teachers Support Network Announces Partnership with Ellis University

Arranges Substantial Discount for its Members Wishing to Pusue Their Master's Deegree

Princeton, NJ, March 22, 2009

Teachers Support Network (TSN) has entered into a partnership with the premiere online provider of post-secondary degrees, Ellis University, in order to offer its members an exclusive discount in tuition. Authorized to operate and grant degrees by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and with both regional (The Higher Learning Commission) and national (The Distance Education and Training Council) accreditation, Ellis University represents online learning at its very best. Among the varied degrees offered by Ellis, of particular interest to educators are:
 
  • MS in Instructional Technology with specializations:
    • Trainers
    • Pre-K-16 Educators
  • MA in Teaching with specializations:
    • Thesis Track
    • Early Childhood Education
    • Teacher as Leader
       
In education, as in most other fields, advanced degrees translate into more money. According to the latest U.S. Census data, the difference in lifetime earnings between people with a Bachelor's degree and those with a Master's degree is a little more than $400,000--that's about $10,000 annually over the course of an average working lifetime (approximately 40 years). A Master's in Education will almost certainly pay for itself with the additional earnings one can expect once his/hers Master's has been attained.
