teaching opportunities for someone with MS Comp Sci

[jballew7]

I'm currently an undergraduate in a BS Computer Science program. When I graduate I plan on working in the industry for a while. I'll also get my MS in Comp Sci while I do this. Anyways, after having worked the industry for a while and have real world experience I think it may be nice to go in to teaching. So, the question is, what all could I teach with my masters? Obviously computer science, but what about other subjects? Like lower level math, English, etc.. Not saying I want to instruct any one of these but just using them as examples. I have a calculus teacher who also teachers a humanities course. So I know people can cross over. But to what extent?

Thanks

Depends on the educational institution and what they may require at any given time.

Lower level courses have more flexibility: e.g., a physics major could teach intro math classes. A math major is less likely to be able to teach intro physics.. But if he or she minored in Physics - maybe so.

Maybe you would sub a few times, prove your worth, and the Department Head would welcome you on board. Maybe with a contigency that you complete a few higher level classes in the discipline you are teaching.

Narrows down to your ability to effectively teach the classes within the discipline/degree path being offered by the institution.

And how far that institution is willing to stretch their credentialing and still remain a viable degree awarding institution.

Overall if you meet the criteria for a position then that is what matters. But it is the institution makes that determination.
