Hello, I graduated from UNM about a year and a half ago. I have a history degree and I have recently decided that I would like to teach here in New Mexico (seconday ed). I was wondering what I would need to get my foot in the door. Will I need another degree or will I be able to teach on a waiver? Any information would be very helpful.

The new federal regulations are making it increasingly difficult to teach on a waiver. However, UNM does have 1.5-2 year programs where you can get certified, and some of those programs pay your tuition and even a small salary your second year of the program.
I've heard the UNM advisors can be unhelpful, so keep going back and talking to different ones until you get the information you need.
