A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is design to be a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study in the prescribed manner. The minimum full-time student registers for a credit load of no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. In addition, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerated programs of study. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the Bachelors and Associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees with the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
Yes, in some cases, individuals with a bachelor's degree can teach at the college level as adjunct professors or instructors, but a higher degree such as a master's or a Ph.D. is typically required for full-time faculty positions.
Yes, in most cases, you can teach at the college level with a master's degree. However, some universities may require a doctoral degree for certain positions or disciplines.
Not usually. Usually a master's is required just to teach at the high school level. There are some exceptions to this rule.... but not many. College science professors usually always have a Ph.D. This can be different for other fields like business, where a Ph.D is not always necessary to teach at the college level.
To teach at a community college with a master's degree, you typically need a master's degree in the subject you want to teach, relevant work experience, and possibly teaching experience or a teaching certificate.
In most cases, you need at least a master's degree to teach at a college. Some community colleges may accept instructors with a bachelor's degree, but a higher degree is typically required for universities.
Typically, to teach at a college level, the minimum educational requirement is a master's degree in the subject area being taught.
a good one.
you can teach at a junior college and, I believe, four year colleges with a master's degree, but you need a doctorate degree to teach at a university. the rule of thumb is that you need a degree beyond the degree in which the courses you are teaching leads to!
Typically, in most all colleges today, a college degree would be necessary for this type of position. At the college and universities I teach at, a masters degree is required.
The minimum educational requirement to teach at the college or university level is a masters degree in the subject you are teaching, with a doctorate preferred.
The answer depends on the university. Usually, you need at least a Master's degree to teach at a university. I've never heard of a college professor with only a Bachelor's degree.
Typically, to teach at a college or university, the minimum of a master's degree in the subject you are teaching is required.
