But I do think it’s beside the point, because I am simply showing that some people out there do indeed teach at 4-year colleges but don’t have doctorates. That’s the point. Sure, I agree that the circumstances are always unusual (in that the majority of faculty at 4-year colleges in any discipline do have doctorates). Nevertheless, I am simply pointing out that you can teach at a 4-year college with just a master’s.

<p>It is besides the point. The OP already specified math as his field. You cannot teach math in a 4-year college with just a masters.</p>

<p>And while there may be “plenty of people” who teach college with a masters, that is only acceptable in very particular fields - fine arts, business, architecture. That’s it. The number of people is irrelevant; the identification of fields is what mattes. And the fields are, as I said, irrelevant to the OP.</p>
