To be able to teach English in secondary schools, you would need a Bachelor's Degree in Education from a university. You would major in English and minor in another field that would complement English. Mind you, the minor needs to be paired with something that English teachers "do", like PE (!?) or they will not hire you. Check with local schools. Schools tend to have low turnover in English teachers, in my experience. However, with lots of boomers set to retire, you may have more opportunities. To teach English in a college, you would obtain a Masters degree in English. Don't be tempted to do as I did: take graduate courses in English for my bachelors--I took the entire program of classes!
English classes. Get your Associates/Bachelors in English then your masters in Creative Writing. There are also Creative Writing courses for doctorates too.
It depends on the college you attend, but general education courses usually include English comp., science, history, government, arts, and assorted. General education online courses in over 80 subject including: math, science, language arts, music, art, psychology and special education.
Yes you can. You will just have to inquire about any prerequisite coursework required for the program (if any).
These are courses you complete after receiving a bachelors degree. They may be courses you need for another profession and are not part of a degree program, such as toward another bachelors degree, or a masters. An example is the year of courses one can take to obtain a secondary education certificate after having a bachelors in English.
In most cases all you need is a Bachelors Degree in English and a teaching certificate. Teaching certificates are easier to get than a Bachelors Degree in Education. In response to part two, you most definitely could be an English teacher. These days you can get a teaching job without have the Education Degree at all. you can obtain an emergency credential depending on what county you are applying in, which allows you to teach for about 30 days in the same location. Best of luck. Pursuing English as a B.A. and then a credential would be more satisfying in my opinion!
Teachers at the elementary and secondary level have a minimum of a bachelors degree. Typically the bachelors degree would be in the field the teacher will be teaching (English in this case), though it is advisable to also take courses in education and classroom management. To teach in most public elementary and secondary schools you will also need a teaching certificate, which requires taking education classes (but can be completed at the same time along with a bachelors degree). To teach English at a college level, you would need a PhD. Any college offering both an English major and some sort of education classes or teacher training program would be an appropriate place to study to become an English teacher.
In order to become an English teacher one does not need to have a PHD. However further education after high school is required to fullfill a career as an English teacher. Most teachers of English hold a minimum of a Bachelors Degree.

You just apply to the community college or your choice, and submit your bachelor's degree transcript. The college will transfer any usable credits toward the AAS. This is not uncommon especially where there is a change in career path.
