In at least two states (Washington and Massachusetts) I know first hand that _community_ colleges only require a Master's.
As far as I know this is normal across the US - I don't know of any community colleges anywhere that ask for PhDs (since community colleges focus on teaching, not research)
- gnicholas 7y agoCompletely agree that 4-year institutions are more likely to have a PhD requirement than 2-year institutions. But given the current oversupply of PhDs, many community colleges can impose requirements like this and still have plenty of applicants. Also, they may be measured on metrics like "percent of classes taught by instructors with PhDs".
