      Hi, John!

      A Master’s Degree is usually needed to teach in college, but different schools may have different policies, so we suggest you call up the school/s you are thinking of teaching at in the future so they can give you a more accurate reply.

      Hi, Diana!

      We’re sorry, but as much as we’d like to help, we’re not an educational institution, so we can’t answer that question for you. We suggest you contact any of the schools mentioned above so they can address your concern.

      🙂
