Qualification of Lecturer in U.S.

Hi everbody,

I am Padmashini living in owings mills,Maryland near Washington DC. Just got married this year april month and came here just three months back. I am basically a M.TECH(IT) graduate and was working there in chennai(India) as Lecturer and got the desire of being a lecturer here too. But I don't know what is the procedure for applying and should we take up any test like GRE? If anubody knows the procedure can you reply me....

Take Care...
Yours Truly,
Padma

Hi,
Welcome to US.
Above all GRE test , you should have work permit.

I don't think you need a GRE. But, I think you should have a PH.D to teach in a state college or in any universities. Yes, you also should have a work permit (in this case HIB), which the college will help you to get one. There is a possiblility if one has a U.S. degree (Masters).

Dear Padma,

One good place to look for is the education review or some other academic magazines. You can visit some of the local universities which are George Washington University (my alma mater), American University, University of Maryland either in person or their websites and see what opportunities exist in your perticular area of interest. If your status here requires a work permit, then you might want to explore registering as a doctoral candidate and after some time an associate professor / research scholar position might be negotiable

bonne chance.....

a GRE score is asked / required from applicants who are applying for masters program. It helps the admissions staff to determine what the candidates strengths are from their undergraduate studies. It is not required from job seekers.
