Does a BS carry the same weight as a BA ????
I notice all job ads say must have BA. If you have a BS is this the same? |

I wouldn't worry a whole bunch about it. I have a BA in Geography and a MS in Geography and what they care about is the first word and not too much the second. I haven't had any problems. Plus so much of what they look for in teachers is how you look, and secondly your character. Your degree is to let them know what level of education you have finished.
That said, there is always the exception, only hope I don't meet it. My two cents, any others?

Weatherman! I thought I was the only geographer on the planet. Now I don't feel so alone.
I think the only difference really between a BS and a BA is math/lab classes, and the BA is focused less on math and more on Arts (at least at my University).
Austhai, that's like worrying about your GPA...I don't think it really matters once you're done. |

i know this thread is wicked old but I need to know.
What about a BFA???
Maybe I'm just stressing out over nothing, but does that 'F' in there make a difference? |

| I've got a BSc in physics and now work at a public school. From what I gather they didn't care what my degree was, just that it came from the right country |

First time poster,
Anyways planning on heading out in august time to try secure a years contract and was looking for some pointers and advice. I've spent a good few months researching and reading threads hopefully to gain a greater understanding on how to go about applying. However I have one question to put my mind at ease:
Will I be qualified enough to secure work?
*I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree a (Bsc) to be more precise (Cureently working towards my Honours).
*Full U.K Passport
*Full U.K Drivers Lisence
*20 Hours TEFL course
*No criminal convictions and therefore will have no problems getting my Disclosure forms
I regard myself as a mature 21 year old. I have worked in many different enviroments for my young age and believe I have great people skills. South Korea intrests me as I know a few people who have went out and worked there. Could someone please inform me of wether or not I would meet the criteria for gaining employment in South Korea?
Many thanks,
N...
(P.s I hope this is the correct area to post this message I thought it was due to the thread being based around BA and Bsc) |

(1) You have the actual parchment and it says "Bachelor of ...............".
(Photocopy it and get an apostille on the copy).
(2) You have a passport issued by the government of the UK. (hard to travel without a passport).
(3) You have (or will have at the time you start applying for jobs) a copy of your background check and it reports, "no derogatory comments". (Get an apostille on it. You have 6 months from date of issue till it expires).
You are good to go.
An "Honors degree" is NOT required. The simple bachelors degree is all that is required (BA, B.Sc, B.Comm, B.Ed. B.???).
Your TESOL is less than 100 hours so is effectively worthless.
