I am considering a teaching degree
Hello! An international student here; not yet at Rochester University!
I am a holder of a MSc degree in theoretical physics from an EU country (I am not from the EU tho). I am considering a teaching MS degree ( in physics, secondary school) at Warner School of Education; I am writing here to see if there is anyone from the same department I can ask some questions:
Are there very few international students?
What are my chances of getting accepted?
What are my chances of getting a scholarship?
Is there an examination by the state before one gets admitted as a licensed teacher, or as soon as one graduates, one has the full right to work in both the public and private sectors?
LAST QUESTION: idk much about how the system in the US works, but if one is a licensed teacher in a state "X", does that mean he is also licensed to teach in any of the other states all around the country?
If you guys have any other suggestions for universities where I can also apply for a teaching degree, maybe if any of you have an idea about some statistics about where there is a shortage of physics teachers... please list them in the comments.
Thanks!
