    Post: Have a B.A., no teaching coursework, please advise

    Hello!
    I have a B.A. in Psychology and recently decided to move
    towards being an English teacher. First of all, I have 24
    credits of English coursework, and I believe 30 are needed.
    I was wondering if courses I have in classical myth (read
    Ovid, Euripides, etc.) and Eastern religions (read the
    Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, etc.) can count towards my
    content coursework. Second, I was wondering if anyone could
    recommend the best way to do my teaching coursework. I've
    seen some programs intended for people with B.A.'s but no
    teaching courses. If anyone has experience applying to one
    of these programs, or knows of a better way to get the
    necessary coursework done, any advice would be appreciated.
    Finally, I was wondering if there's any interim teaching
    certificate I can get with my B.A. and passing necessary
    exams, so that I may start getting teaching experience right
    away. Is that a silly question? There are so many
    resources and pathways to navigate through, and help would
    be much appreciated! Thanks!
