You do not need a BA in education to get a masters degree, but a BA/BS is necessary to teach. Your BA can certainly be in international studies and that will suffice for entrance to a masters program as long as you have sufficient academic specific credit. What do you plan to teach? say you were going to get a secondary math credential. The school would require you to have enough math units to qualify for your credential before admitting you.
Not all schools require this as not all masters candidates plan to teach. However check with your local board of education. Teachers in California cannot teach with simply a masters degree. Usually the school packages credential qualification with the master’s program. This then usually makes a major in your teaching subject field a requiremenet.
any school. you can get your masters in any area. however, you need to check with your advisor now to see what other general ed. classes you need.
good luck.
Many will. Time to start some internet research. You will have to do some make up work in methods courses and education philosophy.
