What major do you need to become a teacher?

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to teach and where you want to teach.

If you want to teach children at the elementary level, a degree in elementary education would be sufficient.

If you want to teach at the high school level, a degree in secondary education or a degree in the subject you want to teach (history, math, English, Biology, etc.) would be necessary.

If you wish to teach at the college level, usually a Master's degree in a specific field is the bare minimum. A doctorate (PhD) is usually preferred, particularly if you desire a full professorship.

Answer 2

an education major is necessary which includes some of the basic psychology required, the rest depends on which subject you wanna teach.
