Unlike some other majors, there is no prestige factor that will get you a "better" teaching position or pay. I would strongly recommend you stay in-state to have the lowest tuition at a public institution. This is as you WILL be required to repay all loans and a teaching job salary will quite low, making it difficult to repay high loans.

You'll need to major in liberal arts, take a bunch of state tests, and apply for a credential program. Any of the "Cal State..." Schools have excellent teaching programs, but because the eduction budget has been severely cut, there will be far Less applicants being accepted into any state school.
