Question

Posted

In college, I majored in sociology and Spanish. After teaching English as a second language and two years as a college access counselor, I've realized I want to do a MAT or MEd to become a high school English teacher. However, I need much more content knowledge because I didn't major in English--are there MAT or MEd programs that would allow me to complete my content-area coursework as well as the ed-focused coursework once admitted to the program? I would like to apply for Fall 2018 and am concerned that I won't accepted to any programs because of my lack of English background. SOS!

I did a Fulbright Fellowship and have 3.7 undergrad GPA (competitive liberal arts school).

At my undergrad/MA university they do a masters in some things with alternative certification. You would need the English classes in addition. I'm sure there are other universities that do it. Would you be happy teaching freshman/sophomore at college level? With an MA you can do that, but I don't know how the pay compares since high schools get a lot of federal monies.
