| A lot of colleges provide a 5 year MFA program in education. For instance, CNU, a college nearby in Newport News, Virginia, has that. That means you can major in Musical Theater (at CNU it's an Acting Major w/ Musical Theater concentration) then at the end of your Junior year you apply for the 5 year "fast-track) program. You take 3 extra semesters of classes and you land yourself an MFA in Theater Education, a teaching certificate and a BA in Acting w/ Musical Theater concentration. You'd be certified to teach English and theater from K-12
I believe your minor also counts towards your teaching certificate. I was going to go to CNU and concentrate in musical theater and minor in German, so that when I left the CNU "fast-track" program I would have a teaching certificate in English, Theater AND German.
You can't go wrong with that program |
