Teaching with an Advanced Degree?

Fun fact - my school has a program similar to that at UTexas where science majors can get teaching credentials, which makes it sort of a “beefed-up” minor. Basically, if you’re a science major, take ~21 extra hours, and you can get a teaching certification AND graduate on time. Since I’m a B.S. Chem major, it does make things a bit hairy when I get to student teaching, so I end up taking PChem1, Biochem, AChem (only AChem lab though), and a teaching class next fall. It might be an interesting option for you to look into. My school’s program is called UKanTeach, and the original was called UTeach.
