Can you become a middle school science teacher if your degree is in non-science field?

It's highly unlikely you can become a middle school science teacher with only a non-science degree. While specific requirements vary by state and even district, all states require teachers to have a teaching license, and those licenses almost always demand a significant amount of coursework in the subject they will teach (science, in this case). Simply having a bachelor's degree in a non-science field won't meet the requirements.

You would need to complete a teacher preparation program, which would include:

* Extensive science coursework: You'd have to take many science courses to meet the required credits in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, often at the college level.

* Education coursework: This involves pedagogical training – learning how to teach effectively, including lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment.

* Student teaching: A supervised period of teaching in a real classroom setting.

In short, while you could *become* a teacher, you couldn't simply transition from a non-science degree to a science teaching position without significant additional education and training in science and pedagogy. You'd essentially be pursuing a second undergraduate degree, or at least a substantial post-baccalaureate program in science and education.
