TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
John and Julie: It depends on at least three things: (a) the academic
discipline one wishes to teach, (b) the state's requirements for a
discipline, and (C) when one started teaching and when the requirements were
revised.
For example, to teach a foreign language, the majority of U.S. community
colleges require an M.A. I was an adjunct professor in California, and I
needed my M.A. to teach a foreign language.
Julie, you may be able to find the requirements on the Internet. Look up
your favorite college's district's official Web site, and scan the pages. If
the district didn't publish the information you need, give them a call. The
phone number definitely will be on a Web page somewhere.
Good luck!
Jenise

Subject: RE: teaching Tech Writing (degree question)
Julie,
I must have missed the original posting ... I have been teaching tech
writing at local colleges and universities since the early 80s, and all I
possess is a BA. I don't think a Master's degree is required to be an
adjunct professor.
