a good idea EXCEPT that a masters is risky for k12 teachers out of the gate. He'd have a hard time getting hired, especially in NC. If he were already a teacher, I think this would work because he'd have a job and they'd have to give him a raise.
My next door neighbor spent 7 academic years as a licensed teacher with a master's degree (she held a BA in something else and her license was integrated in her master's) and after 7 straight years of subbing and no contracts, she finally went into office work. My brother's master's was carefully planned (he is a high school music teacher/band director) but only started after he'd earned tenure at his high school.
I should have said "or maybe the Rio Salado program after he's done." The post-bac program.
So either:
1) the WGU BA/teaching credential, with a second bachelor's at TESU in music
2) a BA in Music from TESU and then the WGU post-bac teaching credential
I'm guessing either one will be the same price and timeline, but you could do spreadsheets for both to see which would be cheaper/faster. But either way, he probably wants to do the teaching credential program when he's young and still living at home if possible, because it's 6 months of no pay - much easier to do when living at home with your parents than when you're out on your own. If that's a possibility.
