Masters of International Education in AIC?

M

Hi,

I have a B.SC. in Mathematics from Egypt (Faculty of Science) but have got no teaching qualifications so to remedy this, I have applied to do the Master’s degree of International Education from the "American International College" in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA (Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Education - NEASC)

Before paying the fees and spend 1 year of my life studying, Could you please advice on this college's reputation and whether it will be easier to find jobs as a Math teacher with that qualification or not.

Will appreciate your sincere advice before taking this important step!

Thanks!

You need to check whether this will give a proper teaching qualification for the country you wish to teach in.

I'm going to use it to work, hopefully, for some time in the same state (MA). I'm not sure though if I'll face complications because I'm a foreigner or the master's degree will be more attractive for the schools to hire me? I'm not sure of this point.

You need to check whether you will be qualified as a teacher with the degree. Usually you will be placed into a school as part of the programme, and these placements often result in a permanent teaching position following successful completion of the programme. If this programme doesn't offer this, it may not qualify you to teach in the US.

If won't make a difference whether you are a US national or not, as long as you have the correct visa. Teachers are generally in high demand here.
