How long does it take in college to become a teacher? What is the average cost of college for a teacher?

Question

I want to become a 6th grade math teacher and I need to figure out how long I need to go to college and how much money I need to make to pay for it

Answer 1

it will depend on your state, but I would say approximately 4 and a half to five years if you don't attend during summer sessions. since you want to teach math, chances are you're probably going to have to major in math and then do a master's program to get teacher certification which will make your stay in college a year longer, but worth it since a master's degree will more than likely start you on a higher pay scale than having a bachelors. nearly every state university has a website, so you can go to the websites of the places you want to attend and find their tuition and fees, add about three to five hundred bucks per semester for books and bare in mind that tuition usually increases 5 to 10% each year

Answer 2

4-5 years typically AND don't plan on working if you go to a smaller, specialized private university because typically, the good teacher school hold certain classes in the fall (those that are pre-requisites for spring classes) and then certain classes in the spring. You cannot do your practicals and student teaching classes (some universitites start these in your sophomore year) in the evening for obvious reasons. So you'll definately need to look into financial aid and plan on living on campus or with parents.

Answer 3

Your question is very broad. You should have stated what state you would like to go to school in and what type of college you are looking at - large (Ohio State) vs. small (Bluffton). (I live in Ohio - just using those colleges as examples). Also, do you plan on living on campus or finding a college where you can live at home? Education typically takes 4-5 years depending on the college's program.

Answer 4

Well, I went to a community college for two years and that cost me about $6000 including books ($1500 per semester). This is my first year at a university and it's costing me a lil less than $3000 a semester so total I should have spent around $18,000. I think it all depends on what school you attend. I'm attending Texas A & M and I live out of county so that costs a lil more. Hope I helped.

Answer 5

the quantity that it expenses to change right into a instructor will determination a great deal. this relies upon on the school someone attends and how a concepts they pick their practise. someone who has scholarships pays a concepts a lot less for education as well.

Answer 6

It will take 4 years and the costs depend on what school and how much scholarship money you get.

Answer 7

it will require a 4 year bachelors degree. take this from me: go to the cheapest school you can or else those student loans will bite you in the behind.
