Help! I need info on colleges in NYC!!?

I want to go to a community college or a low cost university that offers an associates degree in communications or some sort of teaching degree. I am an actor and so I am only going to college so I can land teaching jobs on the side as I persue acting. I do not want to have to take a lot of math (I am beyond help in that area) and I am not interested in a 4 yr program. Does anyone know if a communications degree can be used to get a teaching job at a school or something? AND does anyone know where I can find a school that offers an associates? I am not rich nor smart, and so BIG colleges like Colombia are out of my league. PLEASE HELP!!

You can’t teach with an associate, and you can’t teach at the secondary level (high school) without state certification- that means a bachelior’s, then a master’s, a subject major (ie. math or science) and an education major. Statistics (math) is part of the ed major. I actually had to work really hard in that class (and I take it at the grad level in 3 weeks. Yuck, it’s so dull!)

Because it is NYC after all, faculty at community colleges generally have at least a master’s. The department heads have doctoral degrees usually. You must have at least a BA to teach at a community college.

Go to cuny.edu. In NYC, this is proabably the cheapest way to get a real (and traditional) associate. The colleges will work with you to get you the info you need to apply. You will have to take math in college because of general ed requirements, but you are probably not beyond help no matter what you think right now. The gen ed math is really easy, and if you don’t find it so there are tutors and other resources at the colleges. It isn’t like high school, you are in charge of your own life.

I waited tables in college- have you considered this? (Not an insult, that’s what I did). I made more doing that than I did teaching. It was easier, too, and in your off time you can really focus on your craft and getting auditions instead of writing lesson plans.

NYU nursing is stable, being that NYU is usually a prestigious college. there is likewise the Beth Israel college of Nursing, Columbia college of Nursing, and a few others. i could say Columbia has the wonderful only being an Ivy and all, yet as a modern NYU pupil, i visit declare that I see a good number of smart human beings strolling around in scrubs, so we are actually not too undesirable.
