Type of Graduate Degree

[carnation]

If you're ever considering teaching college, you will probably need a degree in your content matter rather than an Ed.D. Most colleges I know of will rarely consider an Ed.D (except for the education department). Most professors I know haven't even had any education courses.

Which is exactly where I would like to be a professor. I would like to teach educational methods. So, basically, I want to teach future teachers how to teach.

Thanks for answering my actual question. It seems like to be a professor I should go the MS, then PhD route, even if just to be safe.

That's my suggestion.

The M.S. vs M.A. thing isn't important. Just look at each program's requirements.

Good luck.
