I have an undergraduate degree in Political Science, NEED HELP!?

Question

I want to teach American Government or Politics in Florida.

What do I do next? What do I get my Master's Degree in?

Answer 1

Get your Masters in Social Science. I know you can actually start teaching at a community college once you have a bachelors degree with so many credits towards your Masters so thats definitely an option!! However, of course you won't be offered the same salary as someone with a Phd and more teaching experience but fdefinitely go for it!

Answer 2

If you want to teach at a four year university you should seek a PhD, as it is typically required.  You should look for PhD programs in American Politics or American Government, and there are many  universities across the country that offer these programs.  A master's degree should be adequate if you don't mind teaching at a community college.

Answer 3

You should talk to a college counselor, maybe you can do it in education but talk to an advisor to be on the safe side.
