Not in the US, but might move there in 3-4 years.
I heard that some 2-year colleges accept having master's degree only. As for schools, I heard nowadays it's realyl unlikely to get job there as history teacher due to enormous surplus.

Russia.
Now my degree is considered as 6-years Bachelor + Masters (so is said for example in EU-standard addendum to my diploma, and as I read it's usually transferred in US as BS + MS as well), though when I was obtaining it it was a single 6-years specialist degree in university.
But little use of it now, as there were no common classes with degrees like history anyway.

The schools we recommend are distance-learning schools, so there's no need to come stateside to earn your BA through one of them. Thomas Edison State University has a BA in History, and Excelsior College has a BS in History, both of which would be options. You might also consider whether it would be possible to skip the bachelor's in history if you could get accepted into an online MA in History with your foreign degree. That could save you a lot of time and money, since the BA would become obsolete after earning the MA. Two online Master's programs here that I know are cheap are American Public University and Fort Hays State University, but I am unsure whether a) They accept international students or b) How they would evaluate your foreign credential in terms of allowing you admission into the program.

Also, if you do decide to go for a BA, you should have a considerable amount of transfer credit from your prior degree in your country that would knock out a lot of GenEds/Electives.

Yeah, some of my classes can provide credits for electives. That's a bit of good news!

As for evaluating foreign degrees and credits, it's done by some separate organizations, not by colleges themselves; I had info from my friend who did it (the went to study to USA), jsut don't remember exact names of organizations now; it wasn't that fast but neither difficult.

So thank you, it's a good idea to try with MA degree straight! As for if they accept international students, I'll ask those universities directly :-)
