caitlinsmom Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 My dh is going to teach English at the Middle School level when he is done with school. I know it will vary around the country, but does anyone know if he has to have a BA in English or can he have a Liberal Arts degree with a concentration in English and Lit? Are Liberal Arts degrees useful for anything specific? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If he's going to be certified, your best bet is to ask the teacher education department at the university he attends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgm Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 http://certificationmap.com/states/new-york-teacher-certification/ Here in NY, the bachelor's degree can be in education or any other field, but there has to be a certain number of hours in the content field and in education.

sbgrace Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) In my state you have to have an education type degree to teach in public schools--so english ed. or math ed. etc. You can also do an undergrad in a specific content area and then do a master's in education I believe. Are you in Idaho? Take a look at the dept of education site in whatever state he wants to teach in to check for certification options. They dept will be able to answer questions too as could any university with a teacher education program. http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/teacher_certification/ Edited September 19, 2009 by sbgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
