you can get your Ba – even a masters degree entirely online.
But this is not sufficient to teach – you need a credential – As far as i know there is only one online school suggesting that they offer an online credential – be wary of it tho – I know of noone who has taken it – do not even know what states they are in agreements with.
here is the problem_
student teaching – all programs must have state requirements taken care of – tests, classes, state approval and student teaching. the student teaching is the problem – how can a large online school have the resources to mentor new teachers within their classrooms if the entire country needs to be covered – impossible.
So look into it if you wish – but make sure its approved by your state – every state lists its approved programs on their teacher credentialing website. (its western governors uni btw if you want to research it)

I am earning a master’s degree on-line and my school district accepts degrees from this school………………….so check with the school district you plan to teach if they will accept degree from certain on-line colleges
well before you get hired you have to get certified and during your certification you will do some student teaching. just having a degree in education is not enough, afterwards you must get certified and the initial certification process usually takes about a year. so when you apply for jobs all they really care about is what your degree is in and what you are certified to teach, not how you obtained it.
