SAEactive, I am going through that same drama now trying to get certified. I already have my degree in English and most of the universities claim that they have a Teaching Certification program, but that just boils down to a second degree, which requires between 70-80 credits.
I was originally going to do the Masters of Arts in Teaching, which allows you to become certified as a teacher as well as get a masters, but the cost difference between becoming certified as an undergrad and a grad is huge. One of my professors told me that it is better to get certified as an undergrad and then get your masters in education...So at this point I'm not real sure what I want to do.
To top all of that off. In my lovely state of South Carolina, we used to have a program where you could teach critical needs immediately after graduation with a degree in English, Math, etc., but now they have this stipulation that you have to have 2 years full-time work experience prior to going into critical needs, which certifies you while you teach. Now what graduate fresh out of college has 2 yrs. full-time work experience....That's a crock of BS!!!
