How do you become a high school business teacher with a marketing/business degree but not an education degree?

What are the steps for further education if one has there undergrad in marketing/Business, but not education? What sort of degree or certificates would you need to become a high school business teacher?

I’m not familiar with other state requirements, but you can prove subject matter competency in California through the CSET exams — that’s proving your qualification to teach Business. In terms of acquiring your teaching credential, you need to take and pass the CBEST exam (an English/Math basic knowledge test), and you do need teacher credential courses (usually 1 – 2 years) to earn a preliminary credential.

Again, in -California-, demonstrating subject matter competency, passing the CBEST, and completing a teacher credentialing program will allow you to get a teaching job. For other states, you can probably find detailed requirements at their state department of education websites. Good luck.

Check your local college they will have the information needed. Education requirements are becoming more strict and change all the time. So again I say check your local college even a community one can answer your question and get you started. good luck.
