Will an Online Bachelor’s in Education Meet Teacher Certification and Licensing Requirements?
Hot Careers of the Future  >  Education & Library Science
By Vicky Phillips, Chief Education Analyst  |  April 21, 2009   
 
:

I was laid off from my job as a real estate agent and want to change careers. My dream is to be a high school math teacher. My current bachelor’s degree, which I earned ten years ago, is in child psychology. Do I have to go back to college and earn a second, new bachelor’s degree in education? If so, will an online bachelor’s degree in education qualify me to become a licensed teacher in Texas? Do teacher licensing programs accept online education degrees?
