Hello-
I am new to this forum and trying to read everything I can. I have a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from California State University, Fresno (from 2001) and recently received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education and a multi-subject credential from WGU. I realized I want to teach science in Middle/ High school and although there are a few ways of going about it I am thinking I might want to get the Bachelor of Arts, Biology degree from TESU. I am also interested in any ideas for other Bachelor's degrees I may be close to achieving. I'm very new to this and want to see if it's even worth it. I have quite a bit of college credits already form various sources as I've pursued a few different degrees over the years. Thank you so much!! See below.
Your Location: California, United States.
Your Age: 48
What kind of degree do you want?: Biological Sciences, possibly others if I am super close with all of my credits. If you hold a bachelor's degree in a subject you are eligible to teach that subject at the high school level.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Break apart by school for ease of reading. Regional means the school has a regional accrediation. If you don't have any, that's okay leave it blank!
