Teacher Preparation

Program Description

The Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation degree is a specialized transfer degree for students interested in pursuing a teacher licensure in elementary, middle, high school, or special education. 

Students who earn this degree can choose to transfer to a number of teacher licensure programs or begin their teaching career as a teacher assistant. Community college graduates must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in order to transfer with a junior status. Courses may also transfer through bilateral agreements between institutions. This program does not guarantee admission into a school of education at a senior institution.
