I want to be a university professor
Most universities are similar to California Community Colleges in that they require a graduate degree to instruct on campus. The minimum qualification to teach at the California Community College level is a graduate degree in one’s discipline. Many institutions expect a doctoral degree for full professorships. In preparing for this career one should complete a bachelor’s degree and move on to a master’s or doctoral program in the area in which one aims to teach. All of the PACT Partners offer graduate programs in areas that the California Community College system offers instruction. Job openings across the state can be found at the California Community College Job Registry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be great job growth in the field of postsecondary education in the next decade.
