Poetry, Teach, University, Requirements, Level


Question by Poetry Lessons:

What are the requirements to teach poetry at the university level?

Assuming the candidate has an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and an EdD in Education, would this be sufficient to teach poetry at the university level? The candidate has only taken one graduate-level course in poetry and has a small publishing company the specializes in poetry.

Most universities would require a PhD in the area that you teach. They would also expect you to be published. No to publish, but to be published.

Community colleges don't require PhDs at all, so I would try there. The fact that you do have a PhD, any PhD, would give you an advantage over other candidates for teaching positions.
