Of course you have to have a BA! The alternate path is a transition to
teaching program, which is just three courses over the summer, four in the
fall, and the field work, which is only 30 hours. It's still considered an
"alternate path" because it's done quickly---in less than one year, and you
can do it while you are on an emergency license, so your own classroom is
where you do the student teaching.
