Can you become a teacher with a bachelor's degree in Business Finance and if so how long would it take??

Answer 1

You can become an Economics or Mathematics teacher. After completing your B.A, you have to get your teacher certification, which can take anywhere from a semester to 1 year. You also have to take the Praxis Exam. Each state has different requirements.


Good Luck!

Answer 2

It all depends on the State in which you want to work because the certification requirements vary widely. Generally speaking, you need a Bachelor's in a "certifiable area" in order to be accepted into a teacher training program. But there are some states that allow those without a degree in a certifiable area to do what's called a certification only program. This bypasses the need to earn a Masters.

Answer 3

Sure, you CAN, if you're sure that's what you want to do. What you need depends on what state you're in. In some states, you can start as a substitute teacher right now. Most places, I think you need a 1-year certification program on top of your bachelors degree in a non-education field to become a teacher. Talk to the school district in your area, and they can fill you in on the details. People ask them about this all the time.
