<p>I have decided I want to be and high school English teacher. I was thinking like 10th or 11th grade. Also, I was was wondering if Pittsburg state university (in Kansas) or Northwest Missouri state university were good colleges for this or maybe UMKC. Overall just universities in Missouri that would be good for this subject. I'm not a senior so I could end up changing my mind but this is what I have decided for now. So, your help will be appreciated. :) please and thank you.</p>
<p>Pitt State is a great institution - NW Missouri I don’t know as much about and UMKC is kind of one of those schools you have to visit to understand whether or not you are a good fit. </p>
<p>That said, here are a few other schools worth a look (I’m not including Mizzou as I figure you have already considered that)</p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>How much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>OOS publics can be expensive if your parents won’t pay the costs.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>Those answers will largely determine where you should go to train to become a teacher.</p>

<p>Ok, back in January you were advised to talk to your parents about how much they’ll pay since that will determine where you can afford to go to college. What have they said? If you still haven’t asked them, then ask them. there’s no point in getting a bunch of schools’ names if your parents won’t pay. </p>
<p>Also, do you still need/want to live off-campus frosh year so you can have a dog?</p>
<p>Mizzou has a nationally renowned journalism program. Look into that if you love writing. Best of luck.</p>
<p>UMKC is an excellent program, but it is known primarily as a commuters college. If you go there and get your own housing, stay west of the campus for best area for dining and safety. MU is great for journalism, but does not offer much aid. Truman is an excellent college in NE missouri, has great merit aid, and produces a lot of teachers. It has a very good reputation. Lindenwood, just west of St. Louis, also a good school that is growing quickly as they expand their campus. They have produced a lot of teachers in the west St. Louis area. Several of their interns have served at my kids’ schools later being offered positions. I am not as familiar with NW mo state except where it is located. Are you in missouri?</p>
