Um, yeah, typically. I've never known a teacher whose degree wasn't a Liberal Arts degree. The term "Liberal Arts degree" covers bachelor's degrees in a very wide variety of subjects. It simply means that their education encompasses a wide variety of subjects, social sciences, history, humanities, philosophy, science, literature, language, etc., as opposed to a very specific degree where you study very few subjects unrelated to your specialty. The idea of the liberal arts degree was to provide graduates with a well rounded education. Degrees in education degrees are Liberal Arts degrees, however, all that was needed to substitute teach when I was in Michigan was to simply have a bachelor's degree.

 

I work with several teachers with specific degrees undergrad and grad, in Chemistry, Geology, and Biology. 

Well, I've only taught elementary and middle school and was thinking specifically those grade levels. Yeah, of course you have people with specific degrees that teach sciences, and I've known many of them... so, not sure why I said "I've never known". I think I probably meant to say "substitute teacher", I'm sure I have never known a sub with a specific degree.

I did not know this, thanks.

Shit, dude. I guess you're going to have to dump her. ;)

But...but...
