To piggy back on this, Lateral Entry is an alternative certification route in NC, and requires you already have a bachelor's degree in the subject you want to teach. The sticking point here is that you have to get a job BEFORE you can pursue any LE program. That's a statewide requirement for all public and charter schools, as well as any private that requires teacher certification.
