Do you need to major in education to become a teacher?

Asked by flash74686 (478points) December 30th, 2009

Right now, I’m in high school. I know that once I graduate college, I’d like to be a high school (probably english) teacher.

I was thinking about double majoring in criminology and english, as that’s where my interests lie.

Will I still be able to become a teacher if I don’t major in education? After college, will I have to take a teaching course elsewhere? Just wondering, before I make any concrete decisions.
