If I want to be a teacher should I go to a University or Community College?

Answer 1

You have to have at least a 4 year degree which cannont be earned at a community college. You can take classes at the community college and then transfer to a university to save money.

Answer 2

You must get a BS or BA degree to be a teacher, and in some states you need a MS, MEd or MAT to be a Secondary school teacher.

You do not have to start at a university. In many states they have programs where you can start at your local community college and when you finish your Associates degree you can transfer all your credits to the State University and finish your degree at the university. THis is a good deal for many people who have limited finances or need to stay near home for other reasons.

There is no point in going to an expensive private school to learn to be a teacher. They often do not have the exact courses you need and they cost WAY more. The people at your local community college would be happy to talk to you about how the teacher education program works at their school.

Answer 5

dont waste your time at community college
