The "hmm" of the moment

Or wanting to teach, anyway.

I've been looking at prospective schools to go to in order to get a teaching degree, then move onto teaching high school math. From what I can tell, it looks like I have to get a teacher's degree for grade school before I'd be able to get certification for high school. I'm currently looking at 3 prospective schools - the University of MN, which I'm rather close to, St. Thomas, which I'm also close to, and St. Cloud State, which is about an our away. Of these three, the last looks to be the least expensive, at about $220 per semester credit, as opposed to, oh, $500-650 per semester credit.

This has also opened a bunch of questions in my mind.
-I already have some history with St. Cloud State, as they're the school I went through to take a semester at Akita Daigaku in Japan. Would I still need to apply?

-I'm currently on Financial Aid probation with my current school, because I have too many credits for any of their programs; would I still be on this if I go to St, Cloud State or another college?

-With my current credits, how do I stand with what I would need to take for the basic degree? What would I need to take?

-Most importantly, since I was already kinda-enrolled there, am I able to see or speak with a student counselor at the school?

I'm going to make a few calls to the school tomorrow, and see what I can find out. :)
