<p>Does anyone have any information on becoming an English teacher?</p>

<p>Plans are to ultimately become an English professor; however, in order to support my
PhD education, I would like to teach high school English.</p>

<p>I have been unable to find how one would go about this from the Rutgers website. </p>

<p>I am planning on being an English major - after four years, would I be able to obtain a teaching certificate? Do I need to get the masters for the teaching certificate? Do I need
to major in something different?</p>

<p>I have been accepted into the School of Arts & Sciences NB and the Honors program.</p>

<p>Thx</p>
