Are you looking for a career change?
Do you have a background in mathematics or science, perhaps as an engineer, information analyst, or lab technician? Would you like to make a different kind of difference?

Consider directing your expertise into mathematics or science education. Re-invent yourself. Use your experience to advance a new generation. Many Missouri teacher education institutions have programs to use what you already know and meet your individual needs. You can start teaching now and gradually complete coursework, perhaps at night, in the summer, or via distance learning. Or, you may prefer to become a full-time college student again. Check our list of teacher education institutions. Contact them to see what programs exist or can be customized for you. Check out the scholarship, grant, and loan support. Get insights from teachers who have walked a similar path.
