I'm currently finish my BA, trying to complete it this year. I have about 57 credits or so to go, I think I can handle it.
This particular program is teacher education, and it leads to licensure. However it's not online or distance learning, it's a B&M program, about one year. The cool thing is that it's on the border with the US and Canada, so after completion I'd be licensed to teach in both Ontario and New York State.
The main issue I have is fulfilling some requirements. I plan to have two teachables in highschool, Math and Science: General. I'm not sure if the Canadian and New York policies are the same, but my school requires 30 credits in your first teachable, and 18 in your second, which I think is very doable. Also I'll be sure to have at least 6 credits at the senior level for each one.
The funny thing is, although I'm seeking licensure, I don't want to teach in north america. I currently live in China and want to come back after my studies to work in an international school here, most likely teaching AP Calculus or something along those lines.
For anyone interested in taking a risk, or uprooting themselves I think it's a great opportunity; not only for teachers. In china the economy is booming these days!
[edit] wow you also want to teach science and math, what a coincidence!
