Secondary education is a field of study that prepares students to instruct and encourage adolescents in an educational environment. Programs within this branch of learning may teach leadership, organizational, and time management skills. Studies may include hands-on experience.

Graduate diplomas are typically not offered in the United States. The American equivalent of a diploma is referred to as a professional certification. Each university has a different set of requirements for admission, so students should perform in-depth research on programs before applying.
