What kind of Masters do I need?
Favorite Answer
An MA in one of the languages or area studies might work.
Remember, colleges like to hire people with master’s and higher.
Take a look at the Chronicle of Higher Education at the job openings and see what the open jobs are requiring.

One I just looked at says this:
“Bachelors Degree and two years of work experience in the field of international education required; Master’s degree preferred. Academic degree related to international education; foreign language proficiency preferred. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; ability to coordinate work with others as part of a management team; experience studying or working abroad; and experience in program administration. Experience applying for and writing grants preferred; strong computer skills and knowledge of assessment methods.”
Good luck!

2.Are most familiar with the culture of the host country.
3.Have a reputation for excellence in teaching.
4.Have a teaching or research interest that matches the host country or program learning goals.
5.Have received good student reviews and favorable Center for International Education (CIE) evaluations and have otherwise fulfilled their institutional responsibilities for programs they have directed.

So it seems if you had a degree in a specific language and also had some teaching experience, or if you had a teaching degree with a lot of language/cultural experience, that you should be qualified.
A Master of Education would be helpful too, I would think
you’ll be a master debater
