Your credits need to be evaluated by the State Department of Education in the given state in this case New Jersey. As long as your degree comes from an accredited University you should have no problems. You can either get a standard teaching certificate which would require student teaching and of course additional schooling. There are programs like "Teach for America" which has people who are not from the education field and embark on a career in education but they determine placement. It is like a peace corp. The final selection in New Jersey would be the alternate route program which allows for possible candidates to work in a district and receive a provisional teaching certificate. This process can be obtained only if a district agrees to higher you. If they do then additional paperwork follows. You would take courses to fulfill the education requirements at a local institution designated by the program. The fee for the program is taking out of your wages but it is minimal and then you can apply those courses to a graduate degree at a later time. The benefit to this is that you would be gaining experience and a paycheck while you complete accreditation. The state's website can offer additional insight into this matter.
