Unlikely in a university but maybe in a college. Most college teachers work on contract semester to semester and work at a few schools. You would be much better off applying to work at a tech company.

At a university PhD is pretty standard. You would need to look at the job posting for a college. No BEd needed for a college or university.

Not true.

Not true.

What is not true? If the question is aimed at whether foreign degree holder's can teach in community colleges, then pretty much a significant amount of professors' credentials are from abroad. You may need a Master's or PhD from your home country, sure

Not true.

Take a look at this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-lambroff-1843755/

He was literally taking the program he was teaching to his students. If that isn't 'take in anybody' I don't know what is

They don’t take anyone. Really depends on where the college is and the program.
