Going back to college with a new major

Applying to College

<p>I just graduated from College with an Advertising degree but I want to go back school and get a completely new degree in education. Does anyone know how or where to apply for this? thanks!</p>

<p>You need to know which state you want to teach in, so that you can take the courses necessary for certification in that state.</p>

<p>You need to know what subject area(s) and what grade(s) you want to teach.</p>

<p>Then your options could include (among others):

  1. A one or two year M.Ed. with certification program, or an M.A.T. program;
  2. A quickie no-degree certification program such as the Maryland State Resident Teacher Certification Program that is offered in conjunction with a school district and a community college;
  3. A second Bachelor’s degree in Education in the subject(s) and grade(s) that you want to teach;
  4. Re-enrolling at your first college/university just for the classes needed for the teacher training program if one is offered there.</p>

<p>Your least expensive options would probably be at one of your home-state public universities, or a community college that offers a teacher-training program. Your quickest option (if you want to teach something closely related to your undergraduate major) would probably be to return to your first college/university.</p>

<p>Google “teacher certification X state” and see what comes up.</p>
