Thank you for clarifying that :)
Carol - I think the author of the post you responded to was referencing a non-degreed program. Genrally speaking, faculty must have a degree higher than that they are teaching but, there are variations based on topic, accrediting body, etc.
Is this a fact or an opinion? I thought when you teach at a college although you are teaching a core program- shouldn't you have a degree plus experience?
For example- professors that are teaching an A.S. degreed program cannot teach unless they have a higher degree such as a BA or Masters correct?
The fact that the Medical Assistant Program is not a degreed program, the instructor is not necessarily required to have a degree. A medical assistant credential and/or experience can be acceptable in lieu of a degree for this particular program.
From my experience, until recently yes. I was able to run my program for 3 years without a degree, only experience and certification. Things have changed however, and I am back in school to get my degree to continue to run the program.
