Education Credit Deduction for Filing Marriage Separately with a Foreigner?

I was looking to file my tax return on TurboTax, however it says that I cannot deduct my University tuition from it because I am filing separately from my husband instead of jointly. My husband has worked in the U.S. at our university last year, however he is on his F-1 Visa with a valid social security number for work. Other than that, he's not a U.S. Citizen or a green card holder. Will I still be considered for education credit or will I have to file jointly? What happens if I file jointly?
