Question

Can a college student become an adjunct teacher as a part-time job?

Answer 1

The answer is it depends.

An adjunct professor is a part time professor. At the community college level you must have a Bachelor's Degree or preferably a Master's Degree to be an adjunct professor or at a 4 year college you must have your Master's Degree or preferably your PhD.

I am positive of my answer. I am an education major in a graduate program currently speaking.

Answer 2

A defiant no here folks, not depends, not maybe.  As two of the three other posters stated, there are minimum requirements one needs and a college student without a BA/BS degree already under one's belt is not going to get picked up to do be an adjunct teacher.  Each state has its minimum requirements, which far exceed a degree seeking college student.

Answer 3

I don't know of any schools below the college level which hire part-time teachers.  And to be an adjunct professor at a college you need to already have at least a masters degree, so college students generally wouldn't be qualified.  You could get a job as a tutor in the school's learning center, or, if you have work-study money, you could work as an assistant to a professor, but you couldn't be one yourself.

Answer 4

no.

get your BA/BS and you are still not qualified.

Perhaps you could look into tutoring.
