Looking ahead to grad school

It has to be entirely online (or a mighty good program of study worth moving for).

I'm currently earning a multidisciplinary degree in history and religion from Liberty University.

I'm pretty open on what I end up studying, probably leaning towards religion, MDiv, theology, etc..... Maybe history, church history, etc?

I want to teach, so subject matter is pretty wide open.

I recently realized how close I'm getting to graduating and started to panic. I'd better figure out where I want to go and what I want to study so I can figure out how to get there!

When you say you want to teach, what sort of teaching do you have in mind?

Public school students would benefit a great deal from your perspective (IMHO) and to pursue that you might need to focus more on the history than the "religion" aspect. Not that there's anything wrong with "religion" - it's just the "history" would be more marketable in this sector.

Teaching at a post-secondary level would generally require that you continue on toward a doctoral program.

Just some thoughts. Good luck and have fun with it all!

I'd definitely prefer teaching a post-secondary level and do intend to continue on toward a doctoral program.

I may end up teaching at a secondary level in order to pay for things while I'm studying, and I know that I can certify to teach in Texas once I have my bachelor degree. It's just an option I have in the back of my mind at all times.
