I want to teach web design in a local community college. So far I have my associated degree. I am also in the web design business and have been for years. What do I need to do to become a web design teacher?
First of all, what you have is an associate’s degree, not an associated degree. Secondly, in my experience, many community colleges offer these classes online as part of a set of canned classes that they buy, so there aren’t many opportunities in that field. Finally, usually a master’s degree is the minimum requirement to teach anything at a community college, so you would need to continue first for a bachelor’s and then for your master’s degree.
You will need your master’s degree to teach at a community college. It might be good to try to land a tutoring job at a community college while you work on completing your education. This way by the time you are certified to teach at this level, you already have some experience working with college level students and you may have your foot in the door.
Good luck.
