    Online teaching with an Associates degree?

    I have a Associates in Computer Information Systems. I am 8 classes away from a Bachelor of Applied Science, Resource and Technology Management . I also have a diploma in Micro-Computer Specialist & Micro-Computer Software. I am A+ certified and have experience in the computer field a total of 9ys.
    Wanting to know it if anyone knows of schools that hire for online instructors with an Associates degree. If so can you let me know which ones.
    Thanks,

    Generally the minimum requirement for teaching any college that I know of is 15 graduate semester hours in a specialized concentration.  18 is the minimum in some other cases but being that it's so competitive out there amongst college instructors you probably won't get terribly far without a masters degree in a specialized area of study, ie not a generalist degree like an MBA.  Also it's worth noting that it's even highly competitive amongst doctorates, so it's a tough road.

    To teach online college, you will need a master's degree.  Not only is an associates degree insufficient, but so is a bachelors degree.  With a bechelors degree, you might be able to teach K-12.  If you look around, there are a good number of online high schools popping up.  Try them.

    I know this isn't the news you want to hear, and it may not be fair or reasonable, but you will not find a adjunct instructor position without a Master's, and it will be challenging to find one without a doctorate. 

    However, you might look into online training services like computertraining.com.  Since you're certified, then that might be all they need.  Better if you're willing to add more certifications.

    Good luck,

    Can you please give names of some of them? I would like to try it.
