Question

Which degree is require to become teacher in USA?

Answer 1

almost any degree. what you need to be a teacher is a teaching credential. however, if you want to get to the usa, the best degrees are in hard science, so you can obtain an H1B visa and work for a company and then, apply for citizenship and teach where you wish, after you get your accreditation.

Answer 2

You need a Masters degree with a degree in education.

Answer 3

While this can vary by state to some extent (some states have special programs to get teachers needed in certain locations or fields) these general requirements are true everywhere.

Elementary school (K-6) will require a bachelor's degree in elementary education. This is a four year degree. There are some specializations such as elementary music or elementary art.

Middle school (6-8). This is a tricky one, because you can have either an elementary degree with some special endorsements to teach middle school; or certification as a secondary teacher.

High school (9-12). To teach at this level you will have a degree in secondary education with a specialty -- history, math, social studies, music, etc. This is also a four year degree.

All of these also require at least a semester of practice teaching.

To teach at the college level, that depends upon where you want to be.

Most colleges/universities will allow students with bachelor degrees who are pursuing a master's to teach basic courses.

Some community/junior colleges (2 year) will allow bachelor degree holders with SOME graduate credit to teach, especially if they have experience as a high school teacher in that field.

For standard undergraduate courses at a university, a masters degree is required and a doctorate degree preferred.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

To teach grades 6-12, you have to have a degree in the field of study you are planning to teach, as well as a teachers license. This can be a bachelor's, master's, whatever.

kids younger than the middle school age require a degree in early childhood education or something like that.

College generally requires a master's or PhD
